FC Basel Parts Ways With Women’s Coach Kim Kulig, Appoints Laura Vetterlein Interim

The club attributes the move to long-term vision differences after weeks of internal deliberation.

Overview

  • The separation was announced after the second matchday of the Swiss Women’s Super League.
  • Basel cited differing views on the overall vision and unsatisfactory team development as the reasons.
  • The club said the 0:2 defeat at Rapperswil-Jona did not influence the decision.
  • Assistant coach Laura Vetterlein has taken interim charge of the team.
  • Kulig, hired in summer 2023 for her first head‑coach role after assisting at VfL Wolfsburg, reached league playoff semifinals twice and last season’s Swiss Cup final as women’s football chief Fabian Sanginés publicly thanked her for her work.
