Nicole Leuthardt will take over as Chief Women's Football Officer and member of the management at FC Basel Women on September 1, 2026. The 52-year-old Basel native has a good understanding of leadership, organization, and structure, according to VR President David Degen. "It's important to us that we also achieve the maximum in this area in terms of sports, while also being as efficient and sustainable as possible," Degen said. Leuthardt is already a member of the FC Basel 1893 board of directors and knows the club well. However, it is currently unclear whether she will continue to hold this position in her new role. In the sporting area, another person will be engaged at Rotblau. Last week, Fabian Sangines stepped down as head of women's football.
