THE COACH
VLADIMIR PETKOVIC
Born in Bosnia, the Swiss coach prepares to make his debut in a FIFA tournament. Appointed head of La Nati after the 2014 World Cup, he reached the knockout stage of EURO 2016 and qualified for Russia 2018 in the shoot-off against Northern Ireland.
THE STAR
GRANIT XHAKA
The Swiss Player of the Year 2017 is a key element of Vladimir Petkovic's scheme. The Arsenal midfielder shone in Brazil in 2014 and looks set to mark another World Cup in his own footprint.
