First of all: It is an interesting approach that the Swiss Football Association has brought Murat Yakin as the new national team coach. A Swiss solution with international experience, with 46 years of age, an absolute specialist.
He can be someone whom star players like Granit Xhaka or Xherdan Shaqiri, who are quite difficult to deal with, respect. Because he has a big name himself and can look back on a remarkable career. Because for him, as for her, the family plays a major role and many views should be congruent.
However, there are also several “buts”. Yakin was always someone who polarized. Who knows everyone in Swiss football, but also fell out with some. With Basel boss David Degen as well as Captain Valentin Stocker he fought again and again, with Sion boss Christian Constantin it banged, at GC anyway. Wherever there was yakin, there was a fire at some point, sooner or later there were power games. It will now be quite interesting with the association.
But it is also a great opportunity for yakin. For a long time he was considered to be the greatest talented coach in Switzerland, with prospects for the Bundesliga. This reputation has suffered, although it was often less about his athletic competence and more about his debatable environment. After his time in the Challenge League, it is an opportunity for him to relaunch his career.
Yakin becomes the new national team coach. It is guaranteed not to be boring with him.
