Athletic career
At the age of ten, Klaus Sack began to play organized football in 1960 for the agricultural company sports community (BSG) Traktor Groß Lindow. In 1966, at the age of 16, he joined the neighboring BSG Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt , where he played his first game in the second-rate GDR league in the 1968/69 season . So he also had a share in the rise of BSG Stahl to the GDR league , but was not used there in the 1969/70 season. Instead, he was called up in the 2nd team in six games in the GDR league.
In November 1969, Sack was drafted into the National People's Army for military service and was posted to the Vorwärts Cottbus army sports community , where he could continue to play football in the GDR league. By the end of the 1969/70 season, Sack was used in 16 other league games and scored three goals. In the following two seasons he was part of the ASG player base with 45 appearances in a total of 48 league games and two goals. In 1972/73 Sack played all 13 games of the first half of the season for Vorwärts Cottbus, was then discharged from the army and returned to Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt.
The Eisenhüttenstädter played in the meantime again in the GDR league, and Sack was called up to the end of the season in another eight GDR league games. He was then a regular player in defense in Eisenhüttenstadt for eleven seasons. From 1973/74 to 1983/84 he played 218 of the 242 league games played in this period and from 1977 was a regular scorer of the BSG. When the 1984/85 season began, Sack was already 34 years old. He was nominated for the GDR league team, but was only used twice in the GDR league. After the end of the season, Klaus Sack resigned as a football player in the higher leagues, where he had completed 309 GDR league games and scored 20 goals.
He had already started a career as a soccer trainer in 1984 and coached the Stahl Eisenhüttenstadt junior team until 1988 .
