Damian Halata (born 8 August 1962) is a German former professional football player and manager. Born in Poland, he represented the East Germany national team internationally.
Halata was born in Świętochłowice, Silesia, Poland. He spent his senior career at two clubs, playing 267 DDR-Oberliga matches for 1. FC Magdeburg (1975–1988) and 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig (1988–91).[1] He also appeared in 14 matches on the European level for the two clubs.[2]
In October 1988, Halata managed to score five goals in one game against BSG Sachsenring Zwickau. After qualifying for 2. Bundesliga with Lok Leipzig, Halata suffered an injury in the first match of the 1991–92 season that ended his playing career.
International career
Halata played four matches for East Germany, scoring once.[3] As part of East Germany's Olympic team he qualified for the 1984 Summer Olympics, but did not participate in the Games, due to the Soviet-led boycott. Altogether, Halata appeared in 30 matches with the Olympic squad during qualification.[2]
