"Andres Gerber, who spent six years of his playing career at Thun, told BBC Sport, 'It's a bit like when Leicester won the Premier League.' This comparison highlights the unexpected success of a club that has historically struggled."
"Thun's likely title win will be one of the most remarkable in European football history, given their lack of major trophies in 128 years and the dominance of larger clubs in the region."
Andres Gerber, president of FC Thun, swims in Lake Thun to honor his late brother who died from cancer. Since taking over in 2020, Gerber has led the club from financial instability to the top of the Swiss Super League, currently 15 points clear. Thun, a small club with no major trophies, is on the verge of a remarkable title win, reminiscent of Leicester City's Premier League victory. The club's history includes limited success, with a notable Champions League appearance in 2004-05 before facing relegation in 2020.
