Think a lot of excellent players struggle to deal with players who are not as good as them (Hoddle, Rooney etc) or don't have the same mentality and drive (Lampard and keane).

So they are terrible at man managing

Spot on.
Few great players have made good managers.
The ability to get the best out of the players they manage requires different skills.
There are exceptions, but often where there are considerable other advantages - like Pep managing Barcelona, Bayern and City. I don’t think Pep could do a job at Plymouth, yet Warnock certainly could. Rooney probably just tried to be the Pied Piper and that rarely works because, as you say, those players couldn’t do what he did and needed a manager who could focus on what they could do and mould the team to function accordingly.
