Fribourg-Gottéron eyes back-to-back Spengler Cup glory under new coach Rönnberg
Fribourg-Gottéron, led by new head coach Roger Rönnberg, is set to defend its Spengler Cup title, kicking off on December 26, 2025. The Swiss team, now under the guidance of Rönnberg, will face Sparta Prague in their opening match. After a historic win last year, the squad returns with fresh leadership and high ambitions.
The club claimed its first Spengler Cup victory in nine years during the 2024 edition. That triumph came under unusual circumstances—just four days before the tournament, they replaced head coach Pat Emond with Lars Leuenberger, who now returns as an assistant. Despite a slow start, the team rallied to secure the title.
This year marks Fribourg-Gottéron’s fourth appearance in the prestigious event. Known for their offensive firepower and team spirit, they enter the competition as the second-ranked side in the National League, sitting just behind leaders Davos. Rönnberg, appointed in 2025, will make his Spengler Cup debut as head coach, taking charge of a squad eager to repeat last year’s success. The team’s identity is built on solidarity, resilience, and attacking play. With Leuenberger back in a supporting role and a strong roster, they aim to deliver another standout performance in Davos.
Fribourg-Gottéron begins its title defence against Sparta Prague on December 26. The match will test their preparation under Rönnberg’s leadership. A win would set the tone for their campaign in a tournament they last conquered in dramatic fashion.
