Giorgio Contini leaves Murat Yakin and the Swiss team to coach Young Boys. The Bernese club announced on Wednesday that the 50-year-old from Zurich had signed a contract until 2027.

Contini succeeds Joël Magnin, who served in the interim for more than two months after the ouster of Patrick Rahmen at the beginning of October. The Neuchâtel player returns to his usual position as U21 coach after having partially put the capital’s players back on track. The Yellow and Black are 9th in the Super League, 4 points from 6th place.

Giorgio Contini perfectly matches the profile we were looking for“, says sports director Steve von Bergen in the YB press release. “He knows the Super League from many years of experience, he is very demanding and has a clear line. His human qualities are also highly appreciated.” His last experience as head coach was with Grasshopper (2021-2023). Previously, he coached Lausanne, St. Gallen and Vaduz.

Contract terminated with the ASF

Former assistant coach Murat Yakin and YB requested a termination of the contract which linked the Zurich resident to the Nati until the end of 2025, explains the ASF in its own press release. Contini joined the staff of the Swiss team in February and actively participated in the success of the selection during Euro 2024 in Germany, where it reached the quarter-finals.
