In November 1949, after the untimely death of Jimmy Dunne, Coad reluctantly accepted the position of player manager.
He brought in many young players, including Liam Tuohy, and the team became known as Coad's Colts.
On 22 May 1949, he scored the only goal, a penalty, in a 1–0 win over Portugal.

As a player manager, he also guided Shamrock Rovers to three League of Ireland titles and two FAI Cups, before he returned to Waterford and guided them to their first league title in 1966.
He was appointed manager of Limerick in September 1967.
