FC Zurich sacks coach Hediger and appoints veteran Marcel Koller for next season

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 10:18 · 1 min read

Swiss top-flight club FC Zurich (a founding member of the Swiss Super League) has dismissed head coach Dennis Hediger with immediate effect, citing the team's poor results after he won just 6 of 24 matches in charge since October 2024. Experienced Swiss coach Marcel Koller, 65, will take over on 1 June, with interim manager Carlos Bernegger leading the side for the remainder of the current season. Koller brings an extensive résumé — including league titles with FC St. Gallen and Grasshoppers, six years coaching the Austrian national team, and two African Champions League titles with Egyptian giants Al-Ahly — as Zurich looks to stabilise after a troubled campaign that saw the club miss out on the Super League's Championship Group.
