According to the SonntagsBlick, they have supposedly narrowed it down to three potential candidates: head of referees Andreas Fischer, HC Lugano's Jean-Jaques Aeschlimann, and Lars Weibel, who is currently the head of EV Zug's Hockey Academy.

The second round of interviews will be conducted in mid-April, the same source reports. Ideally, Raffainer's successor would already join him and the national team for the World Championship in May, so he can get an idea of what his job will entail.
