Who is a football manager?

A football manager, like Rangers' Derek McInnes, is responsible for a team's performance, tactics, and player selection. They oversee training, make substitutions during games, and often act as the public face of the club. A manager's job security often depends on results, making wins like the recent one against Aberdeen particularly important.
