FCB legend joins the Challenge League: Frei becomes Wil’s coach

As “Nau” reports, Alex Frei will be introduced today as Wil’s new coach. The national record scorer takes over from Ciriaco Sforza (50) who has migrated to FC Basel.

For Frei, who last worked as an under-21 coach at FCB but resigned due to differences with the club’s management, it is the first position for coaches at a professional level. The 41-year-old should have been a head coach at Basel, had it been for former sporting director Ruedi Zbinden. The deal ultimately fell through despite an existing contract. The club bosses ended up using Sforza as their new coach.
