run into

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'come across' is the definition.
('run into' can be a synonym of 'come across')

'manage teachers' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (I've seen this before).
'teachers' becomes 'into' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'run'+'into'='RUN INTO'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for run into that I've seen before include "Happen to meet or collide with" , "Meet (a person) by chance" , "Meet (someone) unexpectedly" , "Come across, encounter" , "Encounter by chance - or collision?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
