Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld will quit after the World Cup in Brazil next year, he told a news conference today.
"After the World Cup in Brazil, I will be 65 year old," the German, one of the sport's most successful coaches, told reporters at the Swiss federation's headquarters.
"After 30 years in the strength-sapping world of football, my time has come to stop... it was the most difficult decision of my career."
Hitzfeld, who won the Bundesliga five times with Bayern Munich and twice with Borussia Dortmund, as well as the Champions League with both clubs, took over in 2008.
He led Switzerland to the 2010 World Cup and successfully took them through the qualifying campaign for 2014, although they missed out on Euro 2012.
