The Swiss Super League returned this weekend as Lugano, Servette and Vaduz cruised to big wins at home while Young Boys, Sankt Gallen and Zurich also grabbed all three points from their fixtures.

FC Basel have a new coach, again. Slavisa Jokanovic, who most recently managed Al-Nasr SC in the United Arab Emirates, joins the Swiss giants to help them steer back towards the top of the Super League table.

Super League clubs were given a hard reality check in the first leg of the playoff round of Conference League qualifying earlier this week. Meanwhile, domestically, Basel, Luzern and Young Boys all won their fixtures in what became a mini-week of matches. Do not worry, though, next week will bring us a full slate of games to go over

FC Thun were torn apart by a dominant Lech Poznan yesterday. The loss could spell doom for the Super League's UEFA League Coefficient, but it could also be a blessing in disguise for Swiss clubs.

Will Thun repeat and will Vaduz stay a yo-yo club? All that and more in this new season of the Super(est) League!

For the first time since hosting the tournament in 1954, the Swiss men are back to the quarter finals of the FIFA World Cup.
