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.
Long story short, the difference is the role within the club. The coach trains the team, picks the line-up, defines the tactics, etc, all things related to the actual football. The manager does that and on top of that has a broader role within the club, which can vary: finances, relation to the owners/sporting director, etc.
