FC Zurich, 120 years old today, would have preferred to be preparing for their anniversary season in the Swiss Super League. Instead, last season’s 10th place condemned them to a new future in the Swiss Challenge League.
It wasn’t all bad news. The Swiss Cup returned to the club for the second time in four years with the win over Lugano scant consolation for the beaten finalists finishing one point ahead of them in the league.
The Champions Cup semi-finals of 1976-77 where they were beaten 6 – 1 on aggregate by Liverpool, seem a world away.
