Career
Haas began his career at Grasshoppers Zurich, where he played for several seasons before moving to England to join Sunderland. Despite making 27 appearances for the club in 2001–02, he did not play for Sunderland during the following season and was loaned out to FC Basel.
Haas joined West Bromwich Albion in 2003, and was a regular at right-back as Albion were promoted back to the Premiership. During this time, Bernt was affectionately known as "Vindaloo" due to a combination of his first and last names. He scored with a superb volley in the 2–0 League Cup win against Manchester United, having already scored in an earlier round against Brentford. He also scored once in the league against Crewe. However he found his chances limited in the top-flight, and left the club by mutual consent on 21 January 2005. The following day he signed for SC Bastia in France, whom he played for prior to joining Cologne. After just one season at Cologne, he joined Swiss Super League club FC St. Gallen in 2007.
Haas played for the Swiss national team at Euro 2004 and was sent off in the match against England.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
