In the last 10 years, the Zurich-based company has already promoted 3 trainers of its own descent: Urs Fischer, Urs Meier and Magnin to the executive suite. Who knows: A victory in the classic against the new favorites to the title and those responsible may consider making Rizzo number 4. No one less than the great Bayern Munich has recently shown with Hansi Flick how successful you can have with him …
