Christian Fassnacht tries his luck in England. The Swiss international has signed a 2-year contract with Norwich City, who play in the Championship (2nd division).
The two clubs did not reveal the amount of the transfer of Fassnacht, which was not in the Bernese group against Lausanne-Sport (2-1) during the 1st day of the Super League. The 29-year-old Friborg resident arrived at YB in 2017 from Thun.
A 19-time international, Christian Fassnacht has played 217 Super League matches, including 182 for YB. He scored 68 goals and provided 41 assists. His track record includes 5 league titles and 2 Swiss Cup victories.
Fassnacht will find Wagner
“It suits us, and it suits him“, said Steve von Bergen, sporting director of the Bernese, about this transfer. Fassnacht will find David Wagner in Norwich as coach.
The German-American technician, in post since January in the south of England, had had a mixed stint at YB in 2021/2022. Fassnacht will be the 4th Swiss to wear the “Canaries” jersey after Gaetano Giallanza, Josip Drmic and Timm Klose.
