Coaches Corner or Coach's Corner

Or Coaches' Corner - I cannot decide which is the right way.
It is a new feature in the fanzine from a football coach.
 
Is it belonging to one coach or many?
If it is the corner that belongs to the coach writing it, then it is singular, so should be coach's corner....possession shown with the apostrophe.
If it is the collective corner for all of the coaches, then it is coaches', as you pluralise it then use the possessive apostrophe.

It sounds to me like it is the corner for the single coach writing it, but perhaps you need to decide who owns the corner to know which will be correct.

Thanks - he is writing from USA as well so I know that also can complicate things - I reckon am going for it being his corner.
