Athletic career

In the 1930s, Fritz Sack was active for the mostly second-rate SpVgg Leipzig .

After the Second World War , Fritz Sack became a trainer for the SG Volkspolizei Dresden. When in 1950 the GDR sports association Deutsche Volkspolizei decided to develop the Dresden Police SG, which was playing in the Dresden City League at the time, into the top team of the sports association, Fritz Sack and Paul Döring were commissioned to create a new team made up of top players from the police sports associations to be compiled from all over the GDR . For this purpose, a screening course was carried out in the summer of 1950, which led to the selection of 17 players.

The newly formed team of the SG Volkspolizei Dresden was integrated into the top football class, the Oberliga , for the 1950/51 season without sporting qualifications . Fritz Sack was appointed as the responsible trainer and is therefore the first Dynamo Dresden trainer . He managed to form a successful team from the thrown together team, which already reached fourth place in its first league season. Fritz Sack also went into the 1951/52 season with the Dresdeners. After the 5th matchday his team was in third place in the table after three wins and one draw and one defeat. For reasons that could not be determined, he was then replaced by Rolf Kukowitsch , who had previously headed the last three championship games at BSG Chemie Leipzig in May 1951 and led the team to the championship.

During the 1951/52 season, Fritz Sack moved to BSG Chemie Zeitz in the second-rate GDR league . There he took on various positions in the coaching staff until 1966. In 1960 he briefly headed the training of the league team.
