Overview

Helmut Benthaus was first team manager for the tenthconsecutive season.

The Swiss Football Association was reforming the Swiss football league system this year, reducing the number of teams in the Nationalliga A from 14 to 12 and increasing the Nationalliga B teams from 14 to 16. Therefore three teams were being relegated and only one promoted.
