Former Otago United Keeper Now Sporting Director in MLS

German-born former NZ-based goalie Lutz Pfannenstiel has certainly done alright for himself post retiring from playing.
Since December 2021 he's been the Sporting Director of St Louis SC in Major League Soccer:

He had an illustrious playing career as "the only footballer to play professionally in each of the six recognized continental associations", including playing for Dunedin Technical and Otago United 2001 - 2006:
Lutz Pfannenstiel - Wikipedia
"Since 2010, he has been a soccer analyst on various television networks — including ZDF, BBC, CNN, ORF, SRF, DAZN, Eurosport, and ESPN, where he currently covers the Bundesliga with Derek Rae."
  "In April 2008, Pfannenstiel became the Assistant Coach for Reinhold Fanz coaching the Cuba national football team. In September 2009, Pfannenstiel signed for Namibian club Ramblers as Player-Coach and Sport director besides working as goalkeeping coach of the Namibia national football team.
From February 2011 to 2018, he was the Head Director of International Relations & Scouting for the Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
From 2018–2020, he worked with Fortuna Düsseldorf as their "managing director sports", and since 2020 he has worked at St Louis City SC in the United States as their sporting director."
There was an article devoted to him and St Louis SC in World Soccer magazine June last year.
Possibly a useful contact for Kiwi players looking for a gig in the MLS or for our two A-League clubs. 

He's written a fun little book which I really enjoy. It's available on Kindle and I presume Kobo. Worth a read

Yes, I know Lutz. A lovely guy. He could have been representing NZ in the All Whites because there was no one else that was a good of a Goalkeeper at the time. The unfortunate thing was he took a time out to go back to Germany and he only had to wait another year of playing continuously and he would have qualified to play for the All Whites. But no one told him, so when the late Bruce McDonald told him that he could have played for New Zealand after he returned . . . it was like telling him that his best friend had died, he was not happy. Yes, he would be a good person to contact for MLS and Bundesliga for advice regarding professional career advancement. He definitely will help a kiwi out when he can. Last time he was in NZ was promoting his book and that was years before the pandemic, around 2015, after the U20 FIFA tournament in NZ.
