Do footballers really need a manager ? (1 Viewer)

I watched football focus on Saturday and it featured a piece on Watford as they keep sacking their managers at an alarming rate,but they are playing well despite of this and one of their players said: " to be honest we are a close knit group and we know how to play and we aren't bothered about the constant change of managers." Which got me thinking that all you really need in your team is a captain/leader who can motivate his team-mates on the pitch.Obviously you need someone to pick the team but the coach could do that and then let the players get on with it !

My son asked me recently what's the difference between a coach and a manager ? I admitted I'm not sure to be honest so all I said was a coach is more about training and tactics,while the manager is there to pick the side and how they should play. Am I right ?
