Andrea Binotto (50) is the name of the new man outside the traditional Serby club in Neuchâtel. You don’t know his name very well as a coach on the sports scene. In contrast to his brother. Mattia Binotto is the director of the Ferrari team. What connects the two now: You are a crisis manager!
Ferrari has had a miserable year. Only sixth in the constructors’ championship. The last time was 40 years ago. The same can be said for Xamax. At the end of the season it was necessary to digest the second sporting decline – in addition to the 2012 bankruptcy – after 2006.
And the case remains uncontrolled. After their ninth loss in a row, 0: 1 against… Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy, Neuchâtel have now also reached the bottom of the table in the Challenge League because Chiasso beat Kriens. The interim coach Martín Rueda could not change things either. His predecessor Stéphane Henchoz was released a week ago. Rueda will be responsible for the last time in the supplementary game against Winterthur on Tuesday. Binotto will replace him in early January.
Success in Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy
This had previously been very successful at Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy. He took over the team at the interregional level in the second division in 2012 and led it to the Challenge League. Until just before the end of last season there was a fight with billionaire president Wartan Sirmakes because Binotto had gotten into too hot flirtations with other clubs from the point of view of CEO of the luxury watch brand Franck Muller. Especially with … Xamax. But Sirmakes wanted to plan for safety and at the end of May said goodbye to his successful coach, who recently received the Uefa Pro license.
And now comes together what apparently belongs. Xamax and Binotto. By the way, the coach took over: “The Professor”. Because before starting to work as a professional trainer, he was a math teacher at La Cité secondary school in Lausanne. With unusual teaching methods. Binotto / Xamax is supposed to be a lasting project. As in his last two clubs: before his eight years at SLO, the Swiss-Italian, born in Lausanne, worked at Concordia Lausana for ten years.
