Köbi Kuhn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jakob "Köbi" Kuhn (born October 12, 1943 in Zürich) is a Swiss football manager and former player. During his playing career he got 63 caps for Switzerland and played primarily for FC Zürich. He also played one match for the Swiss national team in the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England.
Appointed manager for the Swiss U-21 team some time after retiring, he was promoted to coach the senior national team in June 2001, replacing the Argentine Enzo Trossero. His appointment as head coach was first not universally applauded, but he has led the Swiss to the Euro 2004 and the second round of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is second in all-time matches coached for the Swiss team, behind Karl Rappan.[1]
