Born in Coventry, Klug began his football career as an apprentice with Ipswich Town. He joined Wimbledon on loan in March 1980, although after subsequently returning to Ipswich he still did not get to play a league game for them. Therefore, in August 1983 he moved to Chesterfield, finishing his Football League career with Peterborough United, before moving to non-league with Chelmsford City.
Klug played in the FA Vase final for Sudbury Town vs Tamworth in 1989, crossing for Dave Hubbick to head home after 7 minutes. The match ended 1-1.
He was the head of Ipswich's academy for a number of years, and then in the summer of 2006 he became Jim Magilton's assistant.
He took over as caretaker manager of Ipswich on 22 April 2009, following the sacking of Magilton. However, a day later, Roy Keane was appointed as manager.
He left his role as the assistant academy manager and head of player development at Tottenham Hotspur to again be the Head of Ipswich's Academy in June 2012. Following the departure of Mick McCarthy towards the end of the 2017–18 season, Klug was made caretaker manager for the final four games. On 30 May 2018, Paul Hurst was announced as full-time manager, replacing Klug.
In October 2018 Klug was again made temporary manager at Ipswich, following Hurst's sacking after Ipswich winning just once in 15 games.
