Morphology
This is a straightforward noun–noun compound where the modifier 'football' specifies the domain of the head noun 'coach', so the meaning 'a coach for a football team' follows directly from the constituents. The compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Football coach comes from the word coach, which once meant a carriage that 'carried' people and later was used for a teacher who 'carried' students through hard exams. So coach came to mean someone who helps and guides others, and a football coach is the person who trains, guides, and leads the team.
