In an official statement released on Monday, December 22, the defending league champions announced that Schmid has signed a two-year contract with the club.

“We’re pleased to share that Swiss international Fritz Markus Schmid has joined us as our new Head Coach, signing a two-year contract with the club. Welcome to the family, Coach Fritz. We’re glad to have you with us,” the statement read.
Schmid arrives in Bibiani with an impressive résumé that spans both club and international football. Over the years, he has gained valuable experience working at the highest level of the game, having served as an assistant coach at renowned sides such as Tottenham Hotspur, FC Basel, and the Austria National Team. He later took on a head coaching role with the New Zealand Men’s National Team, further enhancing his credentials.
