Summary
How do you build a football team from scratch? That’s exactly the dilemma today’s guest has had to overcome!
Lutz Pfannenstiel is the only footballer in history to play in all six FIFA continental confederations. And now, he’s sporting director of St Louis City, a brand new football club entering MLS next month. We asked him what it’s like to build a squad - and a fanbase - from nothing and how he’s drawn on one of the most unique playing careers in the sport to guide the club forward.
