JUNGFRAUJOCH, Switzerland, June 8 (Reuters) - Switzerland and Austria's under-fire soccer coaches enjoyed some welcome relief on Friday as they joined in celebrations to mark the one-year countdown for Euro 2008.

Koebi Kuhn and Josef Hickersberger, whose countries will co-host next year's tournament, presided over an unusual five-a-side match played out on a glacier beneath the summit of Switzerland's 4,158-metre high Jungfrau mountain.
