Jean Pierre Lienert (7 October 1898 – 25 April 1926) was a French footballer who played as a defender for CASG Paris and the French national team in the early 1920s.

Playing career

Born in the Vosges town of Épinal on 7 October 1898,[1] Lienert began playing for CASG Paris in the early 1920s,[2] eventually established himself as the team's captain in 1925.[3] Together with Albert Caillet, Marcel Marquet, and Henri Tissot, Lienert was a member of the CASG team that won the 1925 Coupe de France, beating Rouen 3–2 in the final.[4] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the future L'Équipe) stated that he "held his position cautiously; he positioned himself well, but his clearance was weak".[5]

On 19 April 1925, three weeks before the Cup final, the 26-year-old Lienert earned his first (and only) international cap in a friendly match against Austria in Paris, which ended in 0–4 loss.[7][8][9]

Death

Lienert died in Asnières-sur-Seine on 25 April 1926, at the age of 27.[7][8][9]
