I think that's the case mainly because there are really few goalkeepers. Ten time fewer than on field players.

Preud'homme has a good career in Belgium, but went to Saudi Arabia when it was time to build up his international career.

For once, I think that this might a trick your mind is playing you (and me), cuz we naturally categorize players into "GK and outfield players", where one group is represented ten times more then the other.

First guy that came to mind was Raymond Goethals, not a household name to many ppl today, but he won the CL with Marsaille in 93, thats why I looked a bit into his career and he coached mostly in Belgium & France, but won a dozen club titles and had a good stint with the belgium NT.

Obviously not an internationally recognised name because he only played in Latam and almost exclusively coached in Argentina, but Julio César Falcioni is a former GK that also had a very extensive managerial career.

As a player he mostly played for Vélez, and the Colombian team América de Cali, where his team infamously lost 3 Libertadores finals in a row.

As a manager, he always managed here apart from a brief stint in Católica in Chile. He managed a fuckton of teams, but he is mostly known for being one of the biggest legends of Banfield. He coached them to their only ever top flight title in 2009, with an 18 year old James Rodríguez as one of their stars. In subsequent years he came back several times to Banfield always trying to save them from going down and he always succeeded lol, including qualifying for Copa Libertadores once.

Outside of Banfield i would say his best achievement is reaching the Copa Libertadores final with Boca Juniors in 2012, when he lost against the Corinthians team that would eventually beat Chelsea to win the CWC.

Zenga and Nuno, but neither great managers. Thinking about it, quite weird that Wolves have had 3 ex-GK managers in recent years.

Nuno Espírito Santo was a goalkeeper
