Didier Tholot extends his contract as coach of FC Sion. The French coach signs until June 2029, and his entire coaching staff will also remain in Valais
Tholot, who once played for Sion himself, was already coach of the French-speaking Swiss club in 2003, 2009 and 2015. In total, he coached FC Sion in 250 games during these tenures.
Club president Christian Constantin said at a media conference on Tuesday about the contract extension: "He has managed to structure and develop the team. I hope that this path will continue." In addition to Tholot, the contract of general manager Marco Degennaro was also extended until June 2031.
Sion are currently in 5th place in the table and can hope to play in Europe next season.
