Kurt "Kudi" Müller (born 9 May 1948[1]) is a Swiss former footballer who was capped on 38 occasions by the Switzerland national football team, scoring eight goals.[2]
Müller started his career with FC Emmenbrücke and then played for FC Luzern and Grasshopper Club Zürich.[3]
In January 1973, Müller moved to Germany to play club football for Hertha BSC. He went on to make 77 league appearances for the Berlin side over the next two and a half seasons, and in 1974–75 he helped Hertha finish as runners-up in the Bundesliga.[1]
After leaving Hertha, Müller returned to Switzerland to play for Servette FC for the 1975–76 season,[4] and he played for them in the final of the 1975 Coppa delle Alpi tournament, in which they defeated FC Basel 3–0.[5] Müller finished his career with the Bern team BSC Young Boys.[3]
Müller made his international debut for Switzerland on 15 December 1970, in a UEFA Euro 1972 qualifying match against Greece. His final international cap came almost seven years later in a 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Norway on 30 October 1977.[6]
Müller coached SC Kriens in 1986–87.[7] He later became manager at FC Luzern, and he was in charge when they reached the final of the Swiss Cup in 1996–97, although they lost on penalties to FC Sion.[8]
