Christian Gross no longer wants to work as a coach. On the Swiss TV “SRF Sports Panorama”, the 65-year-old Zurich man announced his retirement as a coach on the field. However, he left a back door open. “Never say never,” he said. Above all, however, he wanted to focus on working with the company of former Swiss international Philipp Degen, who advises players and once worked with FC Basel.
He celebrated his greatest successes with the Grasshoppers (2 championship titles, 1 cup victory) and above all with FC Basel (4 championship titles and 4 cup victories). With both he caused a sensation in the Champions League. Gross, who made it to an international match as an active player, began his career as a player coach at FC Wil. He was also the first Swiss coach in the English Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur, but was later released at VfB Stuttgart and the Young Boys after less than a year.
It has had some success in Saudi Arabia and Egypt for the past six years. In February, however, it was adopted after a change of ownership and administration at the Saudi Al-Ahli club. If so, you could imagine a return to the training bench in similar geographic areas. He declined an offer as a Kuwaiti national coach, Gross’s Engadine resident said on television, but the same job in the United Arab Emirates could attract him.
