Moved to Switzerland in 1987, playing for second-tier Chur and then ascending to the top flight with Sion in 1988/89; returned to the second division to represent Martigny, Bellinzona and Locarno. • Petković hung up his boots in 1999, aged 36, following a season as player-coach at Bellinzona. Then led Malcantone Agno to promotion from the third divison in 2002/03 before becoming the first coach of AC Lugano – successors to FC Lugano. • Rejoined Bellinzona in October 2005, steering them to the 2007/08 Swiss Cup final, where they lost 4-1 to FC Basel 1893, but consolation came two weeks later as victory in a relegation/promotion play-off against FC St Gallen gave Bellinzona a Super League berth. • Was appointed Young Boys coach in August 2008, guiding them to second-placed finishes in his first two campaigns in charge as well the 2008/09 Swiss Cup final. After short spells in charge of Turkey's Samsunspor and Sion back in Switzerland, was named Lazio coach in June 2012 and won the Coppa Italia in his first term in Italy, also helping the side to seventh position in the final standings. • Left in January 2014 after being anointed Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld's successor, taking the reins after the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

His passion and leadership – he played every minute in Sweden – helped inspire Denmark to the most unlikely of triumphs. He ended his career with 84 caps, a record 69 as captain. • Learned his coaching craft with Brøndby, taking charge at various youth and reserve levels after finishing his playing days at the club in 1996, before accepting his first senior job with newly formed Randers in 2003. Guided the team into the Danish Super League in 2004 but could not help maintain their elite status, suffering immediate relegation. • Steered second-division Randers to a surprise 2006 Danish Cup success, beating Esbjerg fB in the final, while also securing a return to the top flight. Moved to Odense in summer 2007, leading his new side to a fourth-place finish in his first term. Consecutive runners-up spots followed in 2008/09 and 2009/10 before he departed in September 2010. • Appointed coach of the Faroe Islands in November 2011, his team were unable to register a win as they came bottom of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying Group C, earning their only point in a 1-1 home draw with Kazakhstan. However, UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying featured two high points in the shape of home and away wins against the 2004 champions Greece. 5 Switzerland - Faroe Islands Sunday 13 November 2016 - 18.00CET (18.00 local time) Match press kit Swissporarena, Lucerne Match officials Referee Sébastien Delferiere (BEL) Assistant referees Yves De Neve (BEL) , Kevin Monteny (BEL) Fourth official Alexandre Boucaut (BEL) FIFA Match Commissioner Sviatlana Hrynkevich (BLR) Referee observer Marinus Koopman (NED) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Sébastien Delferiere 02/07/1981 3 38 Sébastien Delferiere Referee since: 2001 First division: 2009 FIFA badge: 2010 Tournaments: 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship Finals N/A FIFA Wold Cup matches involving teams from the two countries involved in this match No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 15/09/2016 UEL GS Villarreal CF FC Zürich 2-1 Villarreal 03/11/2016 UEL GS APOEL FC BSC Young Boys 1-0 Nicosia 6 Switzerland - Faroe Islands Sunday 13 November 2016 - 18.00CET (18.00 local time) Match press kit Swissporarena, Lucerne Competition facts The Week of Football concept enables fans around the world to enjoy the very best action from the European Qualifiers – which will determine UEFA's representatives at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

    SWITZERLAND V ENGLAND UEFA EURO 2016 QUALIFYING COMPETITION MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2014 ST JAKOB PARK STADIUM, BASEL, SWITZERLAND KICK OFF: 8.45PM (LOCAL TIME) 1 FOREWORD: ROY HODGSON Dear fans, Firstly, I’d like to thank you for your support in coming to our important away fixture in Basel. As you will no doubt be aware, this match against Switzerland could prove to be one of our toughest games of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign and we have to hit the ground running. Your brilliant commitment and effort will undoubtedly help us as we look to get off to the best possible start. I must also make reference to those of you that came out to Brazil in the summer. It was a bitterly disappointing tournament for the team, coaching staff, myself and – of course – all the fans. We will work very hard to rebuild the faith you have continued to show in us. The players and staff saw the lengths you went to following the team in Brazil and we hugely appreciated it. The support you gave us in Belo Horizonte was particularly humbling and it makes everyone determined to reward you and the fans back home with good performances and results. 2 My hope is that England supporters continue to stand alongside us when we represent the nation together. We have some exciting matches coming up – not least this fixture – and some other away games with our local rivals. Our next goal is to qualify for an exciting tournament in France and we will focus all of our efforts on that.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.

  • The Making of Timm Klose
    I WRITE THINGS The rascal that became a professional: The making of Timm Klose Posted on November 20, 2018 Norwich City’s Timm Klose is not your average footballer. Actually, it comes as some surprise he’s a footballer at all, if you ask those that have known him longest. According to Klose, the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka and Yann Sommer never thought he’d have ended up venturing into the professional game. Yet there he was, playing alongside the three of them, as Switzerland qualified for the finals of the UEFA Nations League thanks to a stunning comeback against Belgium. It marked his 17th cap for his country in a career that has seen him play in the Bundesliga, Premier League, Europa League and Champions League. However, he did so nearly take a different path, but that’s just one chapter in a story filled with trials, tribulations and triumphs. Leading by example Since joining the Canaries, Klose has become something of a cult figure among Norwich fans, owed to Instagram antics, last minute equalisers against Ipswich and things like this. Klose told Paddy Davitt back in 2016 that he’s just being himself. He’s not the typical footballer but that’s him, it’s how he is and how he lives his life. “Football players have a really good life but sometimes you can give something back,” explained Klose. “It might be funny, it might be stupid. If they like it and appreciate that then fine. If we can give a little of our life then they see how a footballer lives away from the pitch.
