 | | Kuhn, who celebrated his sixtieth birthday last October in the week that his Switzerland team qualified for Portugal by beating Ireland in Basel, succeeded Enzo Trossero of Argentina (and previously Roy Hodgson) in 2001, thus becoming the first Swiss national to manage the top team since 1989. |
 | | Kuhn has become a disciplinarian whose demands have often led to clashes with some of his players, notably Liverpool's Stéphane Henchoz, who rivals Patrick Müller, of Lyon (and perhaps soon Tottenham), for a place alongside the ever-present FC Basel stopper Murat Yakin in central defence. |
 | | Kuhn knows that his first task is to ensure that Switzerland overcome Croatia before they even begin to think ahead. |
