This situation usually arises when a Manager leaves a team suddenly and the Chairman has to make a quick decision to appoint someone new as a Caretaker Manager , the chairman will usually either ask a Coach to take temporary charge or they will turn to the club's most senior player. If this particular player gains good results for the team during his time in charge then he may be appointed full time manager, which leaves him a player-manager. However, there are instances where a player will be a Free Agent that is signed by a new team as a manager, and they will also offer their playing abilities. In the United States , player-managers were once common, especially in Baseball . Tris Speaker , Pete Rose and Lou Boudreau all spent time as player-managers. NOTABLE FOOTBALL PLAYER-MANAGERS
