Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Pfeiffer is a native of Lüneburg.[1] He started training as an airline pilot in Bremen, but switched to studying sports science in Cologne.[1] He earned a certificate as an analyst from the German Football Association, and served as a video analyst for the Germany national U17 football team.[1] Although he was enrolled in a course for a UEFA A license, he was unable to complete it due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]In 2020, Pfeiffer joined German club VfG Lübeck as an assistant manager.[2]
In 2021, Pfeiffer was appointed head coach of VfB Lübeck.[1][3][4][5] During the 2022–2023 season, he led the team to promotion to the 3. Liga, the third division of football in Germany.[2] Lübeck finished as champions in Regionalliga Nord, and also won the state cup.[1]
VfB Lübeck decided to risk sanctions by keeping Lübeck as manager, despite the fact that he lacked a UEFA Pro license, which is mandatory for coaches in the third division.[1] He was sacked in December 2023, after managing only two wins in eighteen matches.[6]
