Joël Magnin

Magnin made 1 appearance for the Switzerland national football team in a 1-0 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification win over the Faroe Islands on 2 June 2001.

A longtime youth coach for Young Boys, Magnin signed a 2-year contract to manage Xamax for the 2019-2020 season. On 4 March 2024, he was appointed caretaker manager of Young Boys, following the termination of head coach Raphaël Wicky. He would act as caretaker until the end of the season, as on 14 May 2024, his replacement Patrick Rahmen for the upcoming season was announced. In this time, he successfully led Young Boys to defend the Swiss Championship title, their 17th in total and their sixth in just seven years. Following the end of the season, he returned to coaching the U21. However, Rahmen did not last long in his position and Magnin was tasked as caretaker again on 8 October 2024. He will once again act as caretaker until a permanent appointment is made and will then continue coaching the reserves. He returned to the U21s at the end of the year, with Giorgio Contini chosen as head coach of the first team on 18 December 2024. Under his care, the team was able to stabilize and won all five of their home games in the league.
