“He is a player who will bring us his experience and his aggressiveness. As he knows the championship and the team very well, he will not need any adaptation period,” Neuchatel Xamax coach Joel Magnin told the club website.

Die’s time in Switzerland has also delivered two Swiss Cup titles with FC Sion and another one with Basel.

He returns to the Swiss top-flight league having retired from international football after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations held in Egypt, to cap an international career that saw him help the Elephants to the 2015 continental crown.
