My Take
What strikes me about Andreas Heraf is the sheer geographic reach of his coaching life. A Vienna-born player turning into a manager is ordinary enough, but flying to the other side of the planet to direct New Zealand Football and steer their women's national team takes real conviction. Then back to Germany's Regionalliga with BFC Dynamo. I read that as the profile of a lifer, a man more drawn to the daily grind of the touchline than to glamour. He has never been a household name, yet his willingness to chase the work wherever it leads earns my quiet respect.
Overview
Andreas Heraf (born 10 September 1967) is an Austrian football manager and former player who last served as head coach for the German Regionalliga team BFC Dynamo. He was previously the technical director for New Zealand Football and head coach for the New Zealand women's national team.
