Almost all football managers are ex players.

Well, only 1/3 of them played Pro before going into coaching. The rest were college players (and two only played in High School) who switched to coaching, mostly because they didn't get drafted.

Just for fun, I checked for the German football league. I think more than 3/4 were professional football players before becoming coaches.

Yes but most ex-players are not football managers.

Only for a very broad definition of "ex player".
