Marco Schällibaum (62) is no longer the coach of Grasshopper. The Zurich club sacked him. A change was necessary, said the current 11th in the Super League standings.
Beaten 2-0 on Sunday in Lucerne, GC remains in five matches without a victory. In thirteen championship matches, the Sauterelles have lost eight times.
Club sports director Stephan Schwarz praised the “professional and pleasant” collaboration with Schällibaum. “He took over the team in a difficult situation and ensured its maintenance. We are grateful for his commitment“, he said in the press release published by GC.

While waiting to find a new coach, Giuseppe Morello (39 years old) will take over as interim coach. Until now, he was Schällibaum’s assistant. “This separation hurts. But I thank the leaders for giving me the chance to train my favorite club. I am proud to have coached at GC“, said Marco Schällibaum, who has held the position since April 2024.
This is the second coaching change this season in the Super League. The precedent concerned Young Boys, who separated from Patrick Rahmen on October 8.
