1 FC Basel 1893 - FC Schalke 04 Tuesday 1 October 2013 - 20.45CET, (20.45 local time) Match press kit St. Jakob-Park, Basel Head coach FC Basel 1893: Murat Yakin Date of birth: 15 September 1974 Nationality: Swiss Playing career: Grasshopper Club, VfB Stuttgart, Fenerbahçe SK, FC Basel 1893, 1. FC Kaiserslautern Coaching career: FC Concordia Basel, FC Thun, FC Luzern, FC Basel 1893 • The older brother of fellow former Swiss international Hakan Yakin, Basel-born Murat was capped 49 times as a defender and midfielder. • Won consecutive championships in a five-season spell with Grasshoppers at the beginning of his career. 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. FC Schalke 04: Jens Keller Date of birth: 24 November 1970 Nationality: German Playing career: VfL Wangen, VfB Stuttgart (twice), TSV 1860 München, VfL Wolfsburg, 1. FC Köln, Eintracht Frankfurt Coaching career: VfB Stuttgart (youth), VfB Stuttgart, FC Schalke 04 (youth), FC Schalke 04 • Having risen through Stuttgart's youth department, Keller made his first and only Bundesliga appearance in 1990 before leaving for third-tier 1860 München, where he helped the club to win promotion to the second and then first divisions. • A fringe player in the Bundesliga, he moved to second division Wolfsburg and again won promotion, subsequently becoming a top-flight regular and earning a return to Stuttgart, where he played in the 1998/99 UEFA Cup. • Joined Köln in 2000 but relegated two years later, prompting a switch to Eintracht, whom he helped into the Bundesliga only to miss most of the season with cartilage damage; relegation and further injury problems led to retirement in 2005. • Took over Stuttgart's Under-19 side in 2008/09 and became Christian Gross's assistant with the first team in December 2009; the following October, replaced Gross as head coach but lasted only two months before making way for Bruno Labbadia, although Keller continued to work for the club as a scout. • Appointed Schalke's U17 coach in summer 2012; on 16 December that year he stepped up to the senior side following Huub Stevens' departure and took the club to fourth place and a UEFA Champions League berth.
