The new Servette coach is called Jocelyn Gourvennec

(sda) The 53-year-old Breton most recently worked for French Ligue 1 club FC Nantes until March 2024, but was forced to leave the club after just three and a half months due to a lack of success. He previously coached Lille, Guingamp, and Girondins Bordeaux in the French top division.

Following Häberli's departure, assistant coach Bojan Drmic and forward coach Alexandre Alphonse temporarily assumed responsibility for the team, but the hoped-for turnaround never materialized. During the week, Servette lost 3-1 at home to Utrecht in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Europa League. The breakthrough also failed to materialize on Sunday in the home game against Grasshoppers: In the home game against Grasshoppers, Servette missed a penalty and only managed to equalize late on to a (well-deserved) 1-1 draw.

Before the draw against Grasshoppers, Servette had lost four games in a row, conceding an average of more than four goals per game. Now Gourvennec, who almost became coach of Young Boys last season, must find a way out of the crisis with last year's league runner-up.
