Sandell started his playing career in his birth city Lund at local club Lunds BK. After a brief period at IFK Malmö he returned to Lund before moving to Malmö FF in the 1952 season. After spending 4 years in Malmö Sandell had quite a reputation for being a goalscorer and tried his luck in Italy and SPAL 1907. After his period in Italy Sandell returned to Malmö FF and played one last season there in 1958.

After returning from Italy and playing for a couple of games during the 1958 season Sandell were asked to become manager of the club. He managed the club from 1959 to 1963 winning no titles.
