Morphology
The meaning 'a manager responsible for a geographic district' is directly and compositionally derived from 'district' (an administrative area) + 'manager' (a person who manages). This noun–noun modification pattern is a regular, cross-linguistic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound district manager comes from the simple idea of one person who looks after a whole district, or area, and the word manager shows they are 'in charge'. That's why district manager means someone who looks after several local stores and staff in a specific area.
