Overview

edit

Alwin Riemke was appointed as new team manager. He followed Richard (Dombi) Kohn who had moved on to manage Feyenoord. Riemke came from Lausanne-Sport, who had won the double in the previous Nationalliga championship season and the Cup. Riemke acted as player-manager and played four matches during the season. Basel played a total of 38 matches in their 1935–36 season. 26 of these matches were in the Nationalliga, one in the Swiss Cup and 11 were friendly matches. Of these 11 friendlies six were played at home and the others all in Switzerland. Interesting visitors to the Landhof were the French teams Mulhouse, Excelsior AC Roubaix and Olympique Lillois, the Hungarian teams MTK Budapest and Budapest Honvéd and the Austrian team Wiener AC. Of theses 11 friendly matches seven ended with a victory, one was drawn and three ended in a defeat.[1]

The 1935–36 Nationalliga was contested by 14 teams and was played in a double round robin. Basel played a very mediocre season and ended the championship in 10th position. They won just eight of their 26 games and with 20 points ended the season 21 points behind Lausanne-Sport who won the championship for the second consecutive season. Josef Artimovicz was Basel's top scorer with 14 goals, Jaeck second best scorer with 9 goals.

In the 1st principal round of the Swiss Cup Basel were drawn at home in the Landhof against lower tier Luzern. But they were defeated and thus knocked out. Young Fellows Zürich won the cup.[2]
