Overview
- Krueger, 66, disclosed Saturday in a Swiss interview that he was diagnosed with Parkinson in November 2024.
- He said the first sign was a sudden hand tremor soon after his 65th birthday, and he sought medical help two months later.
- He called Parkinson incurable yet treatable and reports explain it stems from the loss of dopamine-making brain cells that can cause tremor and slow movement.
- To manage symptoms, he exercises for several hours daily and says he will not let the illness define him.
- Public interest is high given his career leading Switzerland’s national team, coaching the NHL’s Oilers and Sabres, and serving as chairman of England’s Southampton FC.
