She has also taken on a new role with the club’s scouting department — and has been tasked with tracking South American talent for the men’s team. The Danish international recounted how it happened. “Almost exactly a year ago I received an email from someone at the club, I didn’t know who it was but apparently it was Bayern Munich’s chief scout (Christoph Kresse) who asked if I was interested in starting to work in the scouting department,” Eriksson shared in comments captured by Viaplay Fotboll (via @iMiaSanMia). “That’s how it has been. I’ve been learning for six months and growing into the role. “I scout for the men’s team. I’ve grown into the role and now that I’ve become comfortable in it, I’ve been given the responsibility of taking over the South American market. So now I’m keeping an eye on South America.” Eriksson may just end up leaving a legacy with the men’s team as well as the women’s at Bayern. How neat is that! *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, , or any leading podcast distributor…*
