If he's telling people otherwise, it's a misdirection.
In modern football the game pattern changes too quickly and too dramatically to be waiting for a message from some observer on the 3rd floor to react!
Coaches do their work pre-match, they have feck all influence on game day, if they look out coached on game day it's because they got the days and weeks before the game wrong.
