After Sutter's impressive performances during the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]], Germany's most successful club, [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], quickly signed the midfielder where he played for one season, before moving again this time to [[SC Freiburg|Freiburg]]. Sutter finished his career in 1998 after spending two seasons with the Dallas Burn (now [[FC Dallas]]). He ended his career with 68 [[cap (football)|caps]] and five goals for the [[Switzerland national football team|Swiss national team]].
