Home shirt as worn during a period when Roy Hodgson was Head Coach of the national team. At the time of his appointment, the Swiss had not qualified for any major tournament since 1966 but, under his guidance, Switzerland rose to 3rd in the FIFA World Rankings in August 1993, which still remains their highest FIFA ranking to this day. Hodgson led Switzerland to the 1994 FIFA World Cup - losing just one game during qualifying, in a group that included Italy, much-fancied Portugal, and Scotland.
