Bruno, a native of Zurich, who was twice champion as a player with Grasshoppers, has signed a two-year contract with the record champions and will lead the Hoppers from the sidelines starting next season.

Speaking to the Grasshoppers website, Bruno said: “I am very happy to return to Grasshopper Club Zurich, a club that means a lot to me. The anticipation is great to take on this new task together with the club to create a sustainable and successful future and at the same time to further develop the individual players. With a lot of passion and hard work, we want to inspire our fans again and give them a lot of joy with our way of playing football.”
