On Tuesday Raeto Raffainer took up the newly created position as Chief Sports Officer at SCB. As soon as he is in office, he has to watch the SCB being swept off the ice against Rapperswil-Jona. There is a lot of work ahead of him.
On Tuesday evening, the SCB also loses the fourth game after the quarantine. In Rapperswil it is a 2-5 defeat. Coach Mario Kogler said after the game: “The boys have never experienced such a failure, they used to win even after bad games. The mindset has to change. Too often you still play a pass instead of going straight to the conclusion. But this ornate thing hasn’t worked for a long time. “
And how did Raffainer experience the game? “I have already watched the other three games at home after the Bern quarantine. It’s the usual construction sites when things don’t go well. ” Too often, the SCB only began to turn up when the game seemed lost. Against Biel, the SCB saved themselves after a 5-1 deficit in extra time and scored one point. Against Lugano (0: 2) and Friborg (5: 6) the defeat was already clear after 60 minutes.
Raffainer: “I’m not coming and tell the SCB what to do”

But what is Raffainer’s job now, how can he contribute to the hoped-for turnaround? Across from “Look“He says:” I’m not coming and tell the SCB what to do. I haven’t been to the team either. That would only cause unrest. ”
First of all, he set up his office and was happy that everything was working. In the next few days he will meet all decision-makers. It is a matter of making an interpretation. “I don’t have a ready-made plan, I look at who has which tasks and decision-making powers and think about what could possibly be changed.”
Of course, the budget also plays a role. But Raffainer also says in no uncertain terms: “I’m not the head of sports, and I don’t bring foreigners either. If I get a suggestion, I ask why it should be this or that foreigner, how they came up with them and what they can bring us. “
The only thing that would really help SC Bern in the current situation are points, many points. The fact that there are now two games against the ZSC Lions on Thursday and Friday doesn’t make things any easier. But there are currently no simple games for the SCB anyway.
