Bayern Munich center-back Magdalena Eriksson is not just helping the FC Bayern Frauen to a stellar, Bundesliga-winning season. 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!
