It’s a triumphant return. Ludovic Magnin (44) returns to the Super League after two years and seven months as coach of Lausanne. “I’m exhausted,” says Magnin after the 2-2 win in Aarau. “We were on the limit in recent weeks, it could have gone either way. Now I am very relieved.”
Magnin had to leave FCZ in October 2020 after a 4-0 defeat in Lausanne – now the former national player is bringing this Lausanne sport back to the Super League.
The last hurdle for direct promotion is taken by the Croesus league, backed by the multimillion-dollar chemical multinational Ineos in Aarau. But symbolic of the entire Lausanne season, strong phases and mysterious withdrawals alternate so often on the Brügglifeld that Lausanne still has to tremble after Aarau’s equalizer. Another FCA goal and the Magnin team would have been relegated to the Barragerang by Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy.
Magnin: «The last minutes were very long. We should have led much clearer earlier.” But the point is enough to move on to the new twelve division team together with Yverdon. When Magnin gives a TV interview, defender Simone Grippo appears and the surprised coach hands over a bathroom mirror from a Brügglifeld toilet .
What happened? “Before the game in Thun, I held up a mirror to all the players,” says Magnin. A symbolic action that makes the players question themselves and consciously set a goal. Then Magnin says that apparently there was a joke in the team that he had put on some weight over the years.
The Lausanne coach grins: “Apparently I didn’t fit in the small mirror. Now they’ve found one big enough to think about what I need to do better next season.”
Then Magnin gets serious again. He admits that the pressure to get his hometown club back on track was immense: “Now I’m just happy to have completed the mission. I’m really looking forward to the big games in Super League and especially FCZ to see again!”
