Career
On 7 July 2008, Gygax moved to 1. FC Nürnberg in Germany. He left the team on 30 June 2010 to join FC Luzern. Gygax along with another signing Hakan Yakin has helped their team to a surprise lead in the Swiss Super League with half of the season gone. He scored seven goals during the season.

At Euro 2004, he played in Switzerland's last two group games, and he also played the first two group games at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. His last of 35 internationals was on 11 June 2008, as a late substitute in a group game against Turkey at Euro 2008 which the Swiss co-hosted.[3]
