August Jordan (born 21 February 1909 - died 17 May 1990) was an Austrian, then French football midfielder, who became a coach after his playing career.
Born in Austria as August Jordan, he moved to France in 1933 and became French in 1938. He was nicknamed Gusti and le baby de Linz. His integration to France national football team during World War II was highly discussed because he was not a born and bread French, moreover an Austrian. However, Jordan was always fully dedicated and proud to wear the blue shirt of France. This integration caused him to be jailed by the Wehrmacht during the war.
