football manager

Sideline tactical leader

A football manager is the person responsible for a team's performance, tactics, and player selection—called a head coach in American football, but manager in British football (soccer).

The role combines coaching duties with broader authority over transfers and squad composition.

He's been the club's manager for three seasons.

Football Manager is also a popular video game series simulating the job.
