Georges Bregy (born January 17, 1958 in Raron ) is a former Swiss national football player .
Modern Swiss World Cup history begins with Georges Bregy. At the 1994 World Cup in the USA, the then 36-year-old playmaker scored the first World Cup goal for the Swiss in 28 years with a free kick against the hosts. Previously, he had not been called up for the national team for five years, only Roy Hodgson brought the Upper Valais back into the team for the World Cup qualification. The free kick king played a total of 54 games in Swiss dress and scored twelve goals.
Bregy celebrated his greatest successes at club level with FC Sion and the Bernese Young Boys. After the cup victories in 1980 and 1982, he moved as the Swiss top scorer from Valais to the federal city in 1984, where the free kick specialist was somewhat surprisingly able to top the Swiss championship in the 1985/86 season. The year after the title, “Schörschu” left Wankdorf for the tourbillon. After detours via Lausanne and Martigny, he found his way back to YB at the age of 32 and a trial period turned into four seasons in Bern. After retiring from everyday professional life, the man from Upper Valais acted as player-coach at FC Raron.
After working as a coach at Lausanne and FC Thun , the high point of his coaching career was the head post at FC Zurich . After his dismissal, the holder of the UEFA Pro license left top football in 2003 and from then on devoted himself to work as an insurance advisor. Since 2006 he has been in charge of FC Stäfa (2nd Interregional League), where his son Nicolas is also under contract.
