Christian Weber most recently worked for EHC Lustenau in the Alps Hockey League. Accoring to the Basler Zeitung, Weber made use of an out-clause in order to return to Switzerland and join EHC Basel: "I found the project very interesting. It quickly became clear to me that it was a good thing," Weber says.
Basel's team manager Olivier Schäublin is convinced to have made the right choice: "In Christian Weber, we have an extremely competent, experienced, and highly motivated coach," he explains on the club's website. "He will do everything in his power to develop the team and achieve the goals we have set ourselves." Meaning: The promotion to the Swiss League.
In Switzerland, Christian Weber has already worked as head coach of the ZSC Lions (2003 until 2006), the SCL Tigers (2006-2010), the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers (2010-2011), and HC Thurgau (2013-2016).
