After his time with Basel, Bernhard moved on to play for FC Fribourg. He played with them during the 1992–93 season, appearing in 18 domestic league games scoring one goal.

During the 2006–07 season Bernhard was coach for SC Dornach's first team. Later he was also coach for various other local clubs.
