Playing career

Schneider was captain of the Swiss title-winning team of 2005–06 and part of the 2006–07 Swiss Championship winning team of FC Zürich.

After leaving the club, however, he moved back to his original position in the centre of defence.

Managerial career

After his active career, Schneider stepped into the coaching profession and replaced Ciriaco Sforza as Thun's caretaker manager on 1 July 2015. [2] He was in turn succeeded by Luxembourger Jeff Saibene. In 2017, he was reappointed as head coach of Thun. [3] In December 2020, the club decided to dismiss him from his duties. [4]

In June 2021, recently relegated Belgian First Division B club Waasland-Beveren announced that they had appointed Schneider as their new head coach, succeeding Nicky Hayen, who had not been able to keep the club at the highest level. [5] He moved to manage Greuther Fürth in May 2022. [6] He was sacked in October 2022. [7]
