Former GKs turned successful coaches are kinda rare? I can think of Lopetegui and Zoff on the top of my mind.

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

It's a valid point, but I'm still not sure that even 6-7% of all relatively successful managers are ex-GK.

I think this could be because they have more specific training schedules and/or choose to specialize in GK training only post-retirement.
