The legend will turn from player to coach - but before that, he wants to make his final dream on court come true: to be part of the EHF EURO 2024 in Germany. Two weeks ago, the Swiss handball Federation announced that playmaker Andy Schmid will become coach of the national team in June 2024. The 39-year-old is the only current Swiss player who was part of the team at their last two EHF EURO participations in 2006 at home and in 2020 in Norway, Sweden and Austria. Schmid is only 59 goals shy of becoming the all-time top scorer of the national team.
