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 — 119 of these matches also carry a dugout the provider actually recorded, 116 of which name him. 0 match(es) were added by that observation and 3 removed by it.
130 of the 133 matches carry team statistics (the store's begin in 2018) and 131 carry squads. A statistic the provider never filed is absent from the cards above rather than counted as a zero.
