A right decision. FC St. Gallen and Zeidler and Sutter rely on a proven duo that not only guarantees the club good football, but also the right soul.
Issuing a five-year contract to a football coach is extremely unusual in Germany. Nevertheless, FCSG President Matthias Hüppi is right again – above all because he recognizes the essentials and at the same time extends it with Alain Sutter.
The harmony between the head of sports and the St. Gallen coach is second to none in Switzerland. In their two years together, the management team has achieved something with the FCSG that no one in Eastern Switzerland believed possible.
Green-white not only greets from the top of the table and inspires with attractive offensive football, green-white stands for something else.
For the first time since the days of Jörg Stiel and Marc Zellweger, the players on the pitch show the same burning passion as the fans in the stands, embodying what is by far the most important thing for the fans: commitment.
In the future, the team will inevitably have to hand over one or the other service provider, which sooner or later will also be reflected in the table situation. But who would you rather have at the wheel than those two players who, in the most difficult financial circumstances, demonstrated enough creativity and know-how to turn a relegation candidate into a title aspirant in two years?
Even if FC St. Gallen would not be as successful in football in a few years, one thing would be certain: Under Zeidler and Sutter, the team will always be ready to leave their hearts and minds on the pitch. And that is the most important.
