A campaign in Germany with Stuttgart, with whom he was a runner-up in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final against Chelsea FC, followed before he spent just over a season with Fenerbahçe. • Of Turkish descent, Yakin returned to Switzerland and Basel during 1999/2000, but was soon off to Kaiserslautern. Re-joined Basel permanently and gained the adoration of the northern club's support, registering seven goals in 32 games during the double-winning 2001/02 season and featuring in Basel's spectacular UEFA Champions League run the next term. • Made his international debut against the United Arab Emirates in September 1994 but was overlooked for EURO '96 and further disappointments followed as Switzerland failed to qualify for the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA EURO 2000. However, he played all 270 minutes of the Nati's UEFA EURO 2004 campaign in Portugal. • Retired in 2006 and quickly moved into coaching with Concordia Basel. Rejoined Grasshoppers in 2007 for a two- year stint as assistant coach before returning to front-line management with Thun, whom he led to promotion from the second tier at the first attempt. Took charge at Luzern in 2011, securing runners-up finishes in the league and Swiss Cup, before becoming Basel coach in October 2012 and ending his first season with the Swiss title.
