Some managers sit back, some scream and shout at the edge of their technical area, and I doubt it has any correlation on the success of their team.
Some players self-motivate. Others are motivated but need direction in what to do. Others are complacent. Insofar as they are coaches, managers can undoubtedly help many players during games.
