Who is Switzerland coach?
Having represented his country at EURO 2004 as a player, Murat Yakin now gets the chance to return to the tournament as a coach after impressing in charge of various teams in his home nation. Yakin won two Swiss League titles with Basel and also gained experience abroad during a spell at Russian side Spartak Moskva. He was given the Switzerland job in August 2021 and guided his side to the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup before they were knocked out by Portugal.
Switzerland key player: Granit Xhaka
Switzerland's most-capped player will head into this tournament with confidence sky-high, having been a key part of Leverkusen's astonishing season. The captain and midfield stalwart not only brings leadership qualities and a steely mentality, he also possesses excellent vision and a superb passing range. His position at the heart of midfield helps his team-mates tick in perfect rhythm.
Switzerland one to watch: Ruben Vargas
The 25-year-old has evolved into a key player for Switzerland, scoring two typically crucial headers in qualifying draws against Israel and Kosovo to seal their finals spot. This will be the third major tournament for the winger, who is known for his skill on the ball, ability in one-v-ones, and goal threat.
