Switzerland's national team coach, Murat Yakin, has extended his contract following their impressive performance at Euro 2024, where they reached the quarter-finals. Yakin and assistant coach Giorgio Contini have both renewed their contracts, with details to be disclosed soon. Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 in the round of 16 and was eliminated by England in the quarter-finals, showcasing a strong run in the tournament. Yakin faced challenges during Euro 2024 qualifiers due to reported squad tensions but maintained an unbeaten streak until their exit. With only one loss in their last 19 games, Switzerland is expected to be among the top-seeded teams in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers for 2026, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
