A stud manager (4)

I believe the answer is:

boss

This clue is a double definition.

'a stud' is the first definition.
('boss' can be a synonym of 'stud')

'manager' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for boss that I've seen before include "Governor" , "Gaffer, manager" , "Take charge of" , "Manager (colloq.); stud" , "One managing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
