Athletic career
Detlef Irrgang played from August 1985 to 1991 and again from 1992 to 2000 at Energie Cottbus in the first team in Sturm.

In the 1995/96 season he was the top scorer in the Regionalliga Nordost with 22 goals . The energy fans sometimes used the nickname " Football God " for him , which was partly due to his two goals in the second relegation game by Energie Cottbus against Hannover 96 for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in 1997 and his 1-0 win against the 1.

Further career
After his playing career, Irrgang worked as an employee in the marketing department of FC Energie, where he was responsible for merchandising, among other things. In the 2007/08 season Irrgang was surprisingly appointed team manager for the Bundesliga team of FC Energie Cottbus after Hans-Joachim Prinz retired. Within a few weeks of the end of the season, however, there was a labor law conflict between Irrgang and FC Energie Cottbus. The dispute finally ended in court in spring 2009 with a settlement. Detlef Irrgang was given a proper notice of termination with financial compensation, but from then on he was no longer employed by FC Energie Cottbus. The reasons for the conflict are largely unknown.
