End of a coach contract

You may have noticed it with players but the contract can simply continue under its current terms. Essentially at this point neither side is bound by a fixed end date and can simply end the contract at their discretion. It's unconventional for a board to keep a manager on in that situation for sure but its an active choice to leave on one side. You'd likely have very little protection as manager without a contract when it comes to a run of poor performance.

Sorry but I don't find your explanation compelling. It's been suggested as a feature request countless times now to add a "Leave club at contract expiration" option rather than explicitly resigning. In my opinion there's enough of a distinction between the two, but the game will treat it as resigning on bad terms with the club/board regardless, and you'll always be asked leading questions in press conferences assuming such.

If there is a feature request in place then that will be under consideration - however - its not designed to currently have you leave the club at the end of your contract. The same applies to players. If neither party brings the contract to a close it switches to an ongoing contract.
