The following season turned out to be his last as professional footballer as he announced his retirement on 30 March 2012. The 2010–11 season was Basel's most successful season in the club's history. Huggel won his fourth Double, the League Championship title and the Swiss Cup with the club. He played 23 league games scoring four goals. He played four of the six cup games, scoring an away goal against FC Schötz in the second round and a goal in the final. The final was played against Luzern in the Stade de Suisse, Bern, and this goal meant that had scored a goal in each of the four Swiss Cup finals that he had played in. The game was drawn 1–1, but Basel won the title in a penalty shoot-out.
