How this record is built
There is no coach-to-match table in this store. The record is reconstructed: the spells in coach_stints crossed with the finished fixtures of the clubs he was at, in the competitions StatsGem covers — 148 of these matches also carry a dugout the provider actually recorded, 143 of which name him. 1 match(es) were added by that observation and 4 removed by it.
154 of the 155 matches carry team statistics (the store's begin in 2018) and 155 carry squads. A statistic the provider never filed is absent from the cards above rather than counted as a zero.

Formthe last 40 of 155 matches, oldest first
