Noah Okafor has made a sensational decision by announcing his withdrawal from the Swiss national team, as long as Murat Yakin continues to coach the national team. The Swiss striker has made it known that he will not be available to Switzerland under the leadership of Yakin, emphasizing that the necessary basis of respect and trust is missing between them. "This decision is extremely difficult for me. There has never been anything bigger for me than to play for Switzerland, but under the current circumstances I simply can't anymore", declared Okafor. "I don't ask for special treatment. I only ask for mutual respect and trust, but I don't see that as a basis for the next few years," he added. Thus, Okafor's future with the Swiss National Team remains directly linked to whether or not Yakin continues as coach.
