"A player-coach, in sports, is a member of a sports team who simultaneously holds both playing and coaching duties. The term can be used to refer to both players who serve as head coaches, or as assistant coaches. Virtually no professional sports teams have head coaches who are also players, though it is extremely common for senior players to take a role in coaching more junior athletes. An exception to this is Shane Warne, who is Captain and Coach of the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. It remains common in amateur and semi-professional sports. For instance, a common career path for former Australian Football League players immediately after their retirement is as player-coaches in suburban or rural leagues."@en .
