The 39-year-old signed a one-year contract in January, valid as of the 2016-17 season. Kloten, on the other hand, is still on the lookout for a replacement for their former coaching duo, Sean Simpson and Colin Muller, who has moved on to the Adler Mannheim.
Furthermore, according to Zaugg, Heinz Ehlers, who also talked with EHC Kloten but is not their "prime candidate", might potentially have a shot at becoming the next head coach of the Swiss national team if Patrick Fischer's tenure should not be extended. (mso)
