André Abegglen (7 March 1909 – 8 November 1944) was a Swiss football player and manager. As a forward he played for Grasshopper Club Zürich, the French club FC Sochaux-Montbéliard and the Swiss national team, for whom he appeared in two World Cups. He is the brother of Max Abegglen and Jean Abegglen, both players of the Swiss national team. He died in 1944, at the age of just 35.
Club career
In France, with Sochaux, he was the league champion in 1934–35 and 1937–38, and was the top goal-scorer of the former, with 30 goals in 28 appearances.[2]
International career
On 2 November 1930, Abbeglen scored his only hat-trick for Switzerland in a friendly against the Netherlands. He was the shared top goal scorer of the 1931-32 Central European International Cup with 8 goals, alongside István Avar of Hungary.[3] With 12 goals in the Central European International Cup, he is the third highest scorer in the competition's history, only behind Ferenc Puskas(15) and György Sárosi(17), both from Hungary. He played in the 1934 FIFA World Cup, scoring one goal, and in the 1938 FIFA World Cup, where he scored three goals against Germany, one in the round of 16 that ended in a 1–1 draw and two more in the replay, won by Switzerland 4–2.[4] In total, he scored 29 goals in 52 matches for the Swiss team.
