Simon Jentzsch (born 4 May 1976) is a German footballer currently playing for FC Augsburg as goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Düsseldorf, Jentzsch began his professional career at KFC Uerdingen (then named Bayer), moving in July 1995 to Karlsruher SC. He would have to wait until 1998–99 to become first-choice, with the club then in the second division.

In July 2000, Jentzsch joined TSV 1860 München, helping the Bavarians to three consecutive mid-table positions upon which he signed with VfL Wolfsburg. He would be an important part of the side's consolidation in the topflight; having lost his position midway through 2007–08 to Swiss Diego Benaglio, he still appeared in 15 matches to help Wolfsburg to a final UEFA Cup berth.

On 31 March 2009, Jentzsch's contract with Wolfsburg was terminated and, on 9 June, he signed a one-year deal with FC Augsburg.

International career

A former under-21 international, Jentzsch received one callup to the senior side, but never made his official debut.
