LAST season was a momentous one for FC Zurich. After a few years of largely toiling in mid-table in the Swiss Super League, Andre Breitenreiter’s side capitalised on poor campaigns from perennial title challengers Basel and Young Boys to go all the way and seal their first championship since 2009.
Things haven’t been quite as rosy this time around, though. Breitenreiter upped sticks to take the reins at Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim during the close season and his replacement, former Austria manager Franco Foda, has struggled to get going.
