Majority of the best managers aren't that good
as players.
^ I think this is really important because they can "emphatize" with players better (than the previous-good-players managers) from their experiences in the fringes therefore they tend to be better at players management, which helps them a lot in the field of management.
Interestingly their
positions may likely define their
football style.
SAF forward --> attacking philosophy
Pep midfielder -> control/tactical philosophy
etc etc
Like always, there are always few
exceptions to the rule, those that doesn't follow the patterns/"formula".
To
answer OP's question
= yes, just a bit, to a certain small degree there is good correlation but not strictly defined.
