The Swiss youth team finished third in the qualifiers for the 2027 European Championship finals after five games with two wins.
National team director Pierluigi Tami explained the decision in a communiqué: "The team needs new impetus in order to continue developing its performance and achieve its sporting goals in the long term." A new coach should "decisively strengthen" the team's development.
In the current qualifiers, the Swiss need to either win their group or at least finish second in order to secure a ticket to the European Championship via the play-offs. However, the team has fallen short of its own expectations in recent months. A new U21 coach should be in place by January 2026 at the latest.
