Based on my experience:
1. Clinical research is very broad; that could be relevant to a university where students are doing research, a large pharmaceutical company, or a hospital system/academic medical center which is doing clinical research. Look into those different avenues and see where your interests lie.
2. Consider what educational degrees would be relevant; you'll want to have clinical experience yourself, so something in hard sciences might be a good fit, but if you know you want to go into management some general business / compliance classes could be a good focus.
3. Consider what about clinical research coordinating is interesting/exciting to you, and explore that field more broadly. That's a very narrow role, and while it's good to have a direction, knowing what else is similar keeps your options open. Happy to answer more specific questions if you have more background to share.
