Bernegger had a brief career in football with Belgrano in Argentina and then Winterthur in Switzerland, but had to retire because of ligament injuries in 1993 at the age of 21.[2][3] Bernegger decided to stay in Switzerland, and made his name as a youth scout and youth coach for Winterthur.[4] Bernegger became long-term youth coach for Grasshopper, and after a couple stints at Basel U21 and Luzern rejoined Grasshopper as the head manager in 2016.[5]
Bernegger's grandparents emigrated from St. Gallen, Switzerland to Argentina after World War II.[6]
