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 — 46 of these matches also carry a dugout the provider actually recorded, 2 of which name him. 0 match(es) were added by that observation and 44 removed by it.

6 of the 6 matches carry team statistics (the store's begin in 2018) and 6 carry squads. A statistic the provider never filed is absent from the cards above rather than counted as a zero.
