This is the end of last week when you sit down. The sports director of Basel Marco Streller (37) meets Marcel Koller (57) to exchange. To hear how the former Austrian coach Nati judges the current Basel team. And he was in principle willing to succeed FC Basel, the successor to Raphael Wicky (41).
It's clear: FC Basel is looking for a former coach Wicky, a seasoned coach. That Koller is the most promising Swiss candidate is obvious. The goal of the FCB is to introduce the new coach until the end of the week.
But it is also clear that Koller is a costly solution for FCB. He won almost two million francs at the Austrian Football Association, including three after qualifying for the European Championship in 2016. Koller, who also speaks as Israeli coach Nati, should also know that he earns less at FC Basel
FC Basel is also exploring the German market. But which experienced coaches are even available?
One is Ralph Hasenhüttl (50). The Austrian led Leipzig to the top of the Bundesliga and left RB this summer. He stands behind the BLICK information on FC Basel's shortlist. But is he ready for the relatively small FC Basel? His name also fell when Arsenal, Bayern or Dortmund looked for a coach.
On the market is also the Walliser Martin Schmidt (51), of which we hold many FCB in-house. However, there was no meeting with him – and he focuses mainly on his stations Mainz and Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Moreover, it seems unlikely that Basel will once again hire a Valaisian after Wicky and his CEO Jean-Paul Brigger.
Other names: Roberto Di Matteo (48), winner of the Champions League with Chelsea, who is unemployed after working at Schalke and Aston Villa. He could come on board, like Markus Weinzierl, former coach of Schalke, or Peter Stöger, former coach of the BVB.
But in all mental games: something speaks for Koller, provided you agree with him and create the story. Zurich could become Swiss champion with the third club. In 2000, he was in St. Gallen, in 2003 with GC.
