HC Fribourg-Gottéron has hired Yves Sarault as assistant coach for one season. The 51-year-old Canadian will support Patrick Emond, head coach, as well as Pavel Rosa, also an assistant.
With this commitment, the supervision of the first men’s team of the Fribourg club is now complete.
Since the end of his playing career in 2014, Yves Sarault has held several positions as head coach in the juniors and in the Swiss League. Yves Sarault has also worked as an assistant in the National League.
