Many departures shatter Thun’s champion squad as recent results reveal the fall

Viele Abgänge have stripped FC Thun of the Thuns Meisterteam that once dominated, while the recent Ergebnisse expose a stark reversal from the triumph that defined the Meister season. Ein Spieler after the other departs, leaving only a handful of Akteure in the Berner Oberland, and the club now struggles to find Ordnung on the pitch.

Am 18. April 2026 FC Thun hosted FC Basel and secured a 3:1 Sieg, celebrating the last victory of the Meistersaison. Der Erfolg was hailed as one of the Höhepunkte of the strong Kollektivs that had defined the champion campaign, and here war noch alles in Ordnung.

Offensive exodus

Monate after that triumph the Thuner Aufstellung has been gutted, with the entire Offensive – Elmin Rastoder, Christopher Ibayi, Kastriot Imeri and Ethan Meichtry – departing for Greece, Morocco, YB and Genoa. The loss of Elmin, Rastoder, Christopher and Ibayi has left the Team without its primary attacking thrust for the current Saison.

Von der Meistermannschaft, midfield driver Leonardo Bertone moved to FC Luzern and full‑back Michael Heule joined FC Heidenheim in the 2. Bundesliga, while interior defender Genis Montolio remains sidelined through injury. Only the goalkeeper Niklas Steffen, defenders Jan Bamert and Fabio Fehr and midfielder Justin Roth remain from the original squad, the few remaining Akteure of the Berner Oberland side. Ein Spieler such for stability, but the Ordnung on the pitch has vanished.

Coaching changes and European setbacks

The club also said goodbye to trainer Mauro Lustrinelli and sport director Dominik Albrecht, and last Thursday the remaining core suffered a desastrous 0:7 defeat Gegen Lech Poznan. These Ergebnisse underscore how the once‑formidable Meisterteam has become a shadow of its former self.

Neo‑coach Gian‑Luca Privitelli opened his tenure with a 3:1 win in Luzern but was followed by a 0:6 loss to YB and a 2:4 defeat Gegen Basel, exposing defensive frailties that the former Offensive had masked. In the Europa‑League qualification the team fell short in the playoffs, losing narrowly to Dinamo Zagreb after a 3:0 first‑leg advantage was overturned by a 2:3 reverse‑leg defeat to Vikingur Reykjavik, leaving three goals conceded against the Icelandic side. These Ergebnisse illustrate the widening gap between the current Team and the standards set during the champion season.

Am now, FC Thun faces five Super League matches in 22 days and urgently needs positive Ergebnisse to avoid a difficult remainder of the Saison. The contrast between the April triumph and the present exodus of many Akteure the Thuns Meisterteam is effectively a thing of the past, and rebuilding will require time and new cohesion.
