Swiss club Sion names Bernard Challandes coach
Swiss top-tier club FC Sion has appointed Bernard Challandes as coach.
Challandes was fired by FC Zurich in April after leading it to the 2009 league title and a place in the Champions League group stage last season.
Challandes was appointed late Thursday to become Sion's 21st manager in the past six years.
The former Switzerland Under-21 team coach replaces Didier Tholot who was fired last week.
