Source-derived summary

Simon Zangerl (born 28 January 1990) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Wattens as a striker.

Club career

After representing SV Landeck and AKA Tirol as a youth, Zangerl's first professional club was FC Wacker Innsbruck's reserve team. On 27 January 2011 he moved to WSG Wattens, and scored an impressive mark of 29 goals in 30 matches during the 2013–14 campaign.

On 30 May 2014, Zangerl returned to Wacker, now to the first team in Austrian Football First League. He played his first match as a professional on 25 July, coming on as a second half substitute for Thomas Hirschhofer in a 1–2 home loss against SC Austria Lustenau; he scored his first (and only) goal for the senior side on 19 September, in a 1–1 draw at the same opponent.

Zangerl returned to Wattens on 29 June 2015, and scored a career-best 32 goals in 30 matches. Exactly one year later he signed a two-year contract with Spanish Segunda División B club CD Atlético Baleares.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Simon Zangerl” as austrian association football player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1990, 2011, 2013, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1990-01-28. The account is most persuasive where Simon, Zangerl and Austrian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as austrian association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q21416518. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2011, 2013 and 2014.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
