Born in Gera, Müller began his career in 1951 with hometown club BSG Wismut Gera and moved to BSG Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt (now FC Erzgebirge Aue) in 1954, remaining there until his retirement in 1965. He won the FDGB-Pokal in 1955 and the DDR-Oberliga in 1956, 1957 and 1959.
He managed his now relocated former team BSG Wismut Aue in two spells (1965–67, 1971–77), with a spell at FC Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitzer FC) inbetween (1968–70).
He earned 18 caps for East Germany, making his debut in a 3–2 away friendly win against Romania on 18 September 1955 and bowing out with a win by the same score against Morocco in Casablanca on 11 December 1960. He took part in qualifiers for the 1958 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1960.[1]
