soccer coach

Pitch-side strategist

A soccer coach is someone who trains and directs a soccer team, handling strategy, player development, and game-day decisions.

The term applies at all levels, from youth leagues to professional clubs: My daughter's soccer coach holds practice twice a week.

In most of the world, this role is called a football manager or simply manager.
