Vogel the previous boss had lead them to the super cup in Switzerland but the first 2 months they were 4th in the league when he got sacked. Yakin was given the role having led Lucerne to 2nd place in the league the previous season, Yakin then led them to the double double over the next 2 years while players were being sold under him and had them playing a clear structured playing style which someone else noted involved the front 3 revolving during their games.
He left at the end of season having given them notice as he wanted a bigger challenge outside of Switzerland, he has been linked with Lazio, Sampodoria and Us amongst others.
