Andy Schmid retired in January of this year. The five-time Bundesliga MVP, record Swiss international goalscorer and current national coach was inducted into the European Handball Federation (EHF) Hall of Fame along with 21 other players - including Nikola Karabatic and Mikkel Hansen.

81 handball players have been inducted into the Hall of Fame so far - and Andy Schmid is the first Swiss player to do so.
