Charles "Charly" Hertig (22 October 1939 – 6 August 2012) was a Swiss footballer and manager who played as a centre-back or midfielder and made five appearances for the Switzerland national team.{{WorldFootball.net|charly-hertig}}

Club career

Hertig was part of the Lausanne-Sport team, one of the greatest in the club's history, which would be nicknamed the "Lords of the Night" ({{langx|fr|Seigneurs de la Nuit}}), as they played and shone particularly at night while most other teams played Sunday afternoon. The team was coached by Austrian Karl Rappan, and included Richard Dürr, André Grobéty, Heinz Schneiter and Ely Tacchella. The team won two Swiss Cup titles in 1962 and 1964,{{cite news |last=Manzi |first=Emmanuel |url=https://www.swissinfo.ch/fre/finale-de-la-coupe-de-suisse-de-football--lausanne-favori-face-à-zurich/1501184 |title=Finale de la Coupe de Suisse de football: Lausanne favori face à Zurich |trans-title=Final of the Swiss Football Cup: Lausanne favorite against Zürich |website=Swissinfo |publisher=Swiss Broadcasting Corporation |date=26 May 2000 |access-date=7 February 2019 |language=French |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190207164441/https://www.swissinfo.ch/fre/finale-de-la-coupe-de-suisse-de-football--lausanne-favori-face-%C3%A0-zurich/1501184 |archive-date=7 February 2019}} before winning the 1964–65 Nationalliga A, the club's seventh and most recent national championship title.{{cite news |url=https://fr.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2012/m=8/news=president-blatter-rend-hommage-charly-hertig-1679852.html |title=Le Président Blatter rend hommage à Charly Hertig |trans-title=President Blatter pays tribute to Charly Hertig |website=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |date=13 August 2012 |access-date=7 February 2019 |language=French |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20190207153715/https://fr.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2012/m=8/news=president-blatter-rend-hommage-charly-hertig-1679852.html |archive-date=7 February 2019 }}
