The German coach has been at St. Gallen since 2018 and is under contract until 2025. He has previously coached a number of clubs, including Sochaux, Sion, RB Salzburg and FC Liefering.

Hannes Wolf (Germany U19), Gerhard Struber (New York Red Bulls) and Enrico Maaßen (Borussia Dortmund II) have also been touted as candidates.
