Michél Mazingu-Sinda-Dinzey (born 15 October 1972 in Berlin) is a retired German-Congolese football player. He has played for several clubs in Germany, including Hertha BSC, 1860 München, Hannover 96 and Eintracht Braunschweig.[1]

Career

Playing career

Dinzey began playing soccer in his childhood, participating on youth teams in the Berlin borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg. In 1988 he joined a Wannsee Junior-A team that played in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, an adjacent Berlin borough. At 17 he began upper-league play with the first-tier crew of the Wannsee FC. The following year he switched to Lichterfelder FC, playing two years for them.

In 1994 Dinzey began his professional career with the Fußball-Bundesliga, playing for VfB Stuttgart. His debut game in the Bundesliga's 1994-95 season, the first of 14 he played that year, was on August 2 — an away match against 1860 Munich. In the 1995-96 season, with the prospect of becoming a regular starter, he moved to the FC St. Pauli in Hamburg.[2] After playing in 31 games and having scored five goals for Hamburg, Dinzey was drafted to play for Zaire's national team. After the season he returned to the Bundesliga, signing for Hertha Berlin, where for two years he was a regular starter and significantly contributed to the team's success. In 1998 he accepted a 1.3-million-Deutschmark contract to play for the Munich 1860 team as Horst Heldt's substitute.[3]

During two years he played for Munich only 15 times, scoring a single goal. In 2000 the Munich team qualified for the UEFA Champions League, but owing to differences with then-coach Werner Lorant he had little opportunity to participate in the tournament.

Subsequently he moved to play for Hannover 96 in the second Bundesliga; he earned a regular place and played 13 completed games, scoring two goals. In 2001 he was on loan for four months to the first-division Valerenga Oslo team, where he played ten of 13 games, scoring one goal. In subsequent years (2004–2006 and again in 2010) Vålerenga four times achieved a bronze, silver or gold medal in the Norwegian Tippeliga.

In 2002 he returned to Germany, playing for Eintracht Braunschweig, but the team finished 15th and he could not prevent the team's relegation from the 2nd Bundesliga to the then third-tier Regionalliga. Despite the fall in rank, he remained in Braunschweig for the 2003–04 season, statistically his most successful; he scored 13 goals in his last season and helped his team achieve the Lower Saxony Cup.

In 2004 he returned to the FC St. Pauli in the Regionalliga, playing 88 times and scoring 24 goals during his three years in Hamburg; the team twice won the Hamburg Cup. In 2006 the team reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup but lost to eventual winners FC Bayern Munich. In 2007 St. Pauli was promoted to the Bundesliga's second division, where he was traded to play seven months for the Oberliga Nord's Holstein Kiel team. He played there for ten games and scored a goal before finally ending his playing career.

During his career, Mazingu-Dinzey played professionally in 90 Bundesliga games, 77 Regionalliga games and 220 games overall. He also played 33 international caps for Congo-Kinshasa. He is married with two children.

Clubs

International career

Dinzey made his debut for the Zaire national football team on January 19, 1996 at the African Cup in Durban, South Africa, losing 2-0 to Gabon but winning 2-0 in Johannesburg against Liberia before losing 1-0 to Ghana in the quarter-finals at Port Elizabeth.

He was subsequently part of the Congolese 2000 African Cup squad hosted jointly by Nigeria and Ghana. That team played both Algeria and Gabon to scoreless ties but lost to South Africa 1-0; only South Africa and Algeria had sufficient points to advance to the quarter-finals.

His last year for the Congolese national team was at the 2004 African Cup in Tunisia, when the DR Congo squad lost to Guinea 2-1, to Tunisia 3-0 and to Rwanda 1-0. Having finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, the team failed to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.[4]

Retirement

Since summer 2010 Dinzey has worked as a talent scout for the Turkish club Diyarbakırspor, helping to identify potential players in Africa and South America.[5]
