A technical person with good people skills is the solution. The combi is not rare. It is not payed properly, but defineyely not rare.

I had many non technical managers stuck in their ideas from '70s or from condoms production lines. Non technical managers should either adapt to the industry's dynamics or go elsewhere. They burn a lot of time of the team.

But an unexperienced team does require a manager, of any kind.
