Fribourg-Gottéron has appointed Lars Leuenberger as the new coach just days before the Spengler Cup, replacing Patrick Emond due to unsatisfactory performance in the National League. This marks the team’s return to the prestigious tournament after 12 years, seeking their first title in club history. The team had previously struggled but gained confidence during the national break with players like Christoph Bertschy and Sandro Schmid making noteworthy contributions.
