First of all, each MLB team has one "manager" and several "coaches." Many people are hired as coaches before and after they are hired as managers, and it would be impossible to keep track of those who "coached" a team without ever going to the Series. It was difficult enough to determine who managed the most games without that honor.
Gene Mauch managed 3942 games without ever going to the World Series.
