The Danish "Dynamite" team had a triumphant run in the Euro before last but faltered at the World Cup. However, they redeemed themselves in the European Championship by advancing from a challenging group. Despite this, Eriksen and company did not secure a single win, drawing three times in the group stage and then losing 0-2 to Germany in the Round of 16. On the other hand, the Swiss "Neutrals" caused concern during last year's qualification phase but performed well in the Euros: they earned five points in a group with Hungary, Scotland, and Germany, defeated Italy 2-0 in the Round of 16, and only lost to England on penalties.
Murat Yakin has naturally continued his tenure with the Swiss "Nati" without any objections. Meanwhile, Kasper Hjulmand has concluded his stint with the Danish national team, and a permanent replacement has yet to be appointed. For now, Morten Wieghorst is serving as the interim coach.
The Danes will be moving forward without Kjaer, their 35-year-old captain with 132 caps, who retired due to recurring injuries. The Swiss team faces broader issues, as Schär, Shaqiri, and even Sommer decided to retire after their successful Euro campaign.
