in the traditional sense, managers are those who make the tactics (long-term and short-term), organise the match-day strategy, buys players, scouts players and selects the team on match-day, makes the substitutions, drops players etc. basically they're in 'charge' of the team players and staff.
a coach is one who trains the team, i.e. fitness, skills, strength conditioning etc. they are pretty much like 'trainers'. A coach may be involved in team selection but they will never have any 'managerial' responsibilities outside the pitch.
A coach instructs players on what to do and the players do what the coach instructs them to do.
