Ingo Saager (born November 26, 1968 in the GDR ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper .

Career

Ingo Saager tied his football boots for the first time in the GDR for SG Motor Holzhausen, but he switched to 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig when he was still young . In 1987 Saager took part with his teammates Matthias Zimmerling and Torsten Kracht with the U-20 selection of the GDR in the Junior World Championship in Chile. He took over the place in goal from Holger Hiemann after the first group game and was on the starting line-up when he reached third place in the following five games. In the same year he moved up as number 3 behind national goalkeeper Rene Müller and Maik Kischko in the Oberliga squad of Lok Leipzig. He made his first league appearances for Lok after Müller's departure to FC Sachsen Leipzig in the 1990/91 season . He and his team reached the semi-finals of the NOFV Cup this season , in which they failed after penalty shoot-out by the eventual winner Hansa Rostock , and managed to qualify for the 2nd Bundesliga .

After the rise, the club, now renamed VfB Leipzig , signed the Hungarian ex-national goalkeeper Péter Disztl . Thus a three-way battle arose between Saager, Kischko and Distzl. The consequence of this was that Kischko was allowed to guard the gate this season, Saager took his place on the bench and Disztl left the club after only one year. Saager only played one role in the two second division seasons and remained a reservist in 1994 after being promoted to the Bundesliga . It was only on the 33rd match day, when they were already safely relegated, that the agreed change in goal came about, so that he celebrated his Bundesliga debut against SC Freiburg . The game was lost with 0: 1, but he saved a penalty from Rodolfo Cardoso and the kicker gave his performance a 2.5, the best mark in the Leipzig team. After Kischko was injured for the last game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen , Saager played another Bundesliga game in the 3-2 defeat.

After this season he was still in the 2nd division behind Kischko substitute keeper and therefore finally moved in 1995 to the Regionalliga Nordost for city rivals FC Sachsen Leipzig . No more but he managed return to professional football, in 1997 he moved to league rivals FSV Lok / Altmark Stendal before starting his career in 1999 at the Association of division who concluded black and white Bismark TuS.
