Post-playing career

Rech is a sports economics graduate and her first role in football following her retirement was at her final club 1. FC Köln as team manager.

The German moved to Bayern, another of the clubs she represented as a player, in September 2016 and worked in a similar team management position for three years.

In 2019, Rech became Bayern Women's sporting director. On 1 April 2023, she was appointed head of the women's footballing department and worked alongside Karin Danner, who had been in the role for an incredible 25 years.
