BERLIN, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Ottmar Hitzfeld will take over as Switzerland coach after Euro 2008, the Swiss FA said in a statement on its Web site on Tuesday (www.football.ch).
Hitzfeld, who had already announced his decision to step down as Bayern Munich coach at the end of the season, will begin work on July 1 on a two-year contract, the statement said.
Switzerland are co-hosts of Euro 2008 with Austria. Jakob Kuhn had already stated his intention to step down after the June 7-29 tournament. (Writing by Kevin Fylan; Editing by Alison Wildey)
