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 — 85 of these matches also carry a dugout the provider actually recorded, 85 of which name him. None needed correcting.
102 of the 104 matches carry team statistics (the store's begin in 2018) and 100 carry squads. A statistic the provider never filed is absent from the cards above rather than counted as a zero.
