Joël Patrick Magnin (born 31 May 1971) is a Swiss former footballer and manager. He is currently caretaker manager of BSC Young Boys in the Swiss Super League.
International career
[edit]Magnin made 1 appearance for the Switzerland national football team in a 1-0 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification win over the Faroe Islands on 2 June 2001.[1]
Managerial career
[edit]A longtime youth coach for Young Boys, Magnin signed a 2-year contract to manage Xamax for the 2019-2020 season.[2]
On 4 March 2024, he was appointed caretaker manager of Young Boys, following the termination of head coach Raphaël Wicky.[3] He would act as caretaker until the end of the season, as on 14 May 2024, his replacement Patrick Rahmen for the upcoming season was announced.[4] In this time, he successfully led Young Boys to defend the Swiss Championship title, their 17th in total and their sixth in just seven years.[5]
Following the end of the season, he returned to coaching the U21. However, Rahmen did not last long in his position and Magnin was tasked as caretaker again on 8 October 2024.[6] He will once again act as caretaker until a permanent appointment is made and will then continue coaching the reserves.
