New job: Schultz invites St. Pauli coach Hürzeler to Basel

As half Swiss, Fabian Hürzeler naturally has a good connection to the Alpine state, and since Thursday there has been another one: his ex-colleagues Timo Schultz and Loic Favé (assistant coach) will take over FC Basel from the coming season.

“I wrote an SMS and wished everyone the best,” revealed Hürzeler, before sending a few warm words to his predecessor.
