He was a football commentator with the SBS network in Australia, until 2011, when he joined Melbourne Victory as Director of Football.

On 21 June 2011, Awaritefe was signed by Melbourne Victory as their new Director of Football on a two-year deal, replacing Gary Cole, with Mehmet Durakovic signed as the club's new manager on the same day.
