He coached the Swiss national team for 13 years. They appeared at the olympics the whole time Krueger coached there, after missing the Olympics for the previous 8 years.
They pulled off a huge upset at the 2006 olympics besting Canada and the Czech Republic (beating Canada was a huge, huge shocker) , and almost did it again in 2010.
Before that he won 5 straight championships in the German league and a euro league Cup (a league made up of all the championship winning European teams. No Austrian team has ever won it before or since Krueger did it).
