For his impressive achievement he was awarded the title “Coach of the year”. In 2002 Koller signed for Grasshoppers Club Zurich where he won the Swiss league again (season of 2002/2003).
After leaving Grasshoppers Club Zurich, Marcel Koller moved to Germany where he held the position of head coach at 1. FC Köln and then VfL Bochum. He impressively promoted Bochum to the Bundesliga where they stayed for 3 consecutive seasons.
