Petkovic had been in charge of the national team since 2014. "I have no doubts that we will qualify for the World Cup with this great team and that we will celebrate further successes." It is a great honour and a pleasure for me to be able to represent our country as a coach," he said. "The Nati was already an affair of the heart for me as a player. Yakin's contract runs until the end of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with an option for an extension. "Murat Yakin is the new coach of the Nati," the Swiss Football Association (SFA) announced. Yakin, who played 49 times for Switzerland, leaves his post as the manager of Swiss second-tier side Schaffhausen.
Yakin, 46, takes over from Vladimir Petkovic, who stepped down after seven years in charge of the "Nati" to take over at French Ligue 1 team Bordeaux.
Murat Yakin was appointed Monday as the new boss of the Swiss national football team, with an eye on greater success after their impressive run to the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
