In the Swiss national team he assisted Köbi Kuhn and, since 2008, Ottmar Hitzfeld . Hitzfeld consciously chose Pont as his assistant trainer because of his lack of knowledge of French and his previous assistant coach Michael Henke . After Hitzfeld resigned as coach after the World Cup finals in Brazil in 2014, Pont also ended his work with the Swiss national team.
