Yves Zahnd (born 4 October 1985) is a Swiss former professional footballer who played as a defender. He played 77 games with FC Thun.[2]
Career
Zahnd played for FC Thun and SC Kriens.[1] Yves Zahnd coached at FC Thun junior teams and then took over for the first time in his career a coaching job at an active team after he was forced to retire in July 2011, due to injury.[2][3]
He later became a football coach, and was appointed as manager of FC Bern 1894's second-team in May 2013.[2]
Injury
In 2008 the club doctor for FC Thun announced that, though it had already been operated on for a torn ACL and cartilage damage, his knee would probably no longer permit a professional career. Because of this, at the age of 25 Zahnd was forced to retire from professional football due to his extensive knee injury and an associated osteoarthritis.[4]
