Playing career

Born in the Vosges town of Épinal on 7 October 1898, Lienert began playing for CASG Paris in the early 1920s, eventually established himself as the team's captain in 1925. 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. The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto stated that he "held his position cautiously; he positioned himself well, but his clearance was weak".
On 19 April 1925, three weeks before the Cup final, the 26-year-old Lienert earned his first international cap in a friendly match against Austria in Paris, which ended in 0–4 loss.
