Yves Sarault will coach the SCL Tigers for the remainder of the season. His successor has not yet been determined.

According to the Berner Zeitung, HC Thurgau's head coach Stephan Mair is also on the SCL Tigers' radar. The Italian has been coaching the Swiss League team for the past six seasons and seems to fit the profile the SCL Tigers are looking for.

Kevin Schläpfer, on the other hand, is, according to the same source, not an option. Klaus Zaugg (Watson) reported last week that the team manager of SC Langenthal is a candidate for the position.

The Tigers' interest in Michael Liniger, the head coach of the GCK Lions, has been confirmed. According to Liniger, they are talking and there is interest on both sides, but for now, it is just "an exchange of information." The next few weeks will determine whether they move beyond that.
