Michael Wiesinger (born 27 December 1972) is a Germanfootball manager and former player who last coached1. FC Nürnberg.
Amidfielder, Wiesinger began his professional career with1. FC Nürnberg, before joiningBayern Munich on a free transfer in 1999. He spent two years at Bayern, winning two German titles and theChampions League, but made few first team appearances before moving to Bayern's rivalsTSV 1860 München, where he had previously been a youth team player. He spent two and a half years at 1860, moving on toWacker Burghausen, his hometown club, in January 2004. He left the club in June 2007 and joinedSpVgg Weiden, where he spent one year before retiring.
He took up his role as coach ofFC Ingolstadt'sreserve team.[1] 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 the2. Bundesliga.
In April 2011, he returned to1. FC Nürnberg, to take charge ofthe club's reserve team. He was promoted to manager of the first team in December 2012, afterDieter Hecking left to take over atVfL Wolfsburg. Wiesinger was sacked by the club on 7 October 2013, the day after a 5–0 home defeat byHamburger SV in the2013-14 Bundesliga. On the day of Wiesinger's sacking, the club had scored a total of only five points and remained without a win after the first eight matches of the 2013–2014 Bundesliga, and was in the third last position in the league table. "The recent games showed that no consistent upward trend is developing. It was a very difficult decision, but in the interest of 1. FC Nürnberg we feel forced to act", Nürnberg's sporting director Martin Bader said.[2][3]
In July 2017 Wiseinger became the new manager ofKFC Uerdingen 05.[4] He left the club by mutual consent on 15 March 2018 despite the club being at first place inRegionalliga West.[5]
