FC Zürich's Coach Search Takes Unexpected Turn

FC Zürich has found its new coach: Bo Henriksen is set to replace Franco Foda. The 47-year-old has agreed to a contract until 2024.

What happened?

FC Zürich had been negotiating with Jens Keller as the top favorite for the vacant coaching position on Sunday. But now we receive a surprising message from Denmark.

Who is Bo Henriksen?

Bo Henriksen was most recently under contract with FC Midtjylland, but was released at the beginning of this season after four league games and only one year after taking office.

What's next?

The new coach is set to be on the sidelines for the Europa League game against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday. FCZ President Ancillo Canepa revealed on Sunday that they had found the new coach and announced: «I think we can communicate something tomorrow.»
