I just create a shortlist called managers/coaches then I add all the players in the game who became managers/coaches IRL to the shortlist. When they retire I turn them in to coaches and edit them afterwards to what kind of coach they were. I also edit their individual ratings sometimes. That way a guy like John Mcgraw, who played for the Orioles in the 1890's, becomes a manager in my historical replay after retirement. His ratings I would tweak to the high end. He might not manage the Giants but he'll be somewhere. I even turned Babe Ruth into a manager.
I add these guys to the shortlist when their rookies but sometimes I miss someone. Just keep checking the retirement list. If there are fictional coaches created in the game that just don't fit the era I'm in I just delete them.
