What is the difference between a coach and a manager? I’m asking seriously, because I notices that there are clubs where the manager is an icon whereas others in which it’s the coach (or at least I think so).
Are there situations in which the manager and coach are one and the same?
Who are some famous coaches - especially ones that might be accidentally considered managers?
Again, these questions are asked seriously.
A coach is someone who will be doing most if not all training sessions and be more of a “technical” manager, focusing on drills, tactics and finer details. A manager is someone who manages not only the team, but the staff around him and had a much wider grasp on how the club is ran. It’s not as common anymore, but a manager years ago would be running the club from top to bottom. Including what food the players are, where they went for pre season, player transfers etc.
