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 — 14 of these matches also carry a dugout the provider actually recorded, 14 of which name him. None needed correcting.

14 of the 14 matches carry team statistics (the store's begin in 2018) and 14 carry squads. A statistic the provider never filed is absent from the cards above rather than counted as a zero.

1 spell(s) could not be used: Plymouth Argyle (dates out of order).

His teams' average for each of the twelve statistics this site measures — the same statistic families the match odds and the league tables publish — beside the competition-season average of the same matches. The statistics begin in 2018, which is why the counts are lower than his match total.
