Former Bayern Munich striker Giovane Elber has been recruited by the German giants to work as their South American scout, it was revealed on Sunday.
The 35-year-old Brazilian scored 133 goals in 260 matches, for both Bayern and VfB Stuttgart, to become the most prolific foreigner in Bundesliga history and retired last year having spent seven seasons in Munich.
He told German daily newspaper Bild about his latest role.
"I have a new job, on Thursday I met (Bayern bosses) Uli Honess and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge who asked me if I could do some scouting work for them," said the former Brazil international, who now lives back in his native country.
"I am very happy they have trusted me with this job, I will be on the look out for young players in South America who could interest Bayern."
