Source-derived summary

Michael Wiesinger (born 27 December 1972) is a German football manager and former professional player who is currently the sporting director and head of youth development at the FC Bayern Campus.

Playing career

A midfielder, Wiesinger began his professional career with 1. FC Nürnberg, before joining Bayern Munich on a free transfer in 1999. He spent two years at Bayern, winning two German titles and the Champions League, but made few first team appearances before moving to Bayern's rivals TSV 1860 München, where he had previously been a youth team player. He spent two and a half years at 1860, moving on to Wacker Burghausen, his hometown club, in January 2004. He left the club in June 2007 and joined SpVgg Weiden, where he spent one year before retiring.

Managerial career

FC Ingolstadt

He took up his role as coach of FC Ingolstadt's reserve team. Since 9 November 2009, he was caretaker manager of the first team before being later confirmed as manager. Almost exactly a year later, Wiesinger was sacked with Ingolstadt in 17th place in the 2. Bundesliga.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Michael Wiesinger” as german association football player and manager. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1972, 1999, 1860, 2004—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1972-12-27. The account is most persuasive where Michael, Wiesinger and German can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as german association football player and manager. 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 Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q651506. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1972, 1999, 1860 and 2004.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. 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.
