Laravel 5.4 routing for same prefix group but different middleware giving error

Question

I need all the route under same prefix manager with one middleware for guest manager_guest and another for logged in user manager_auth. This code bellow is my route web.php file.

Is there any other way ?

My routes:

Route::prefix('manager')->group(['middleware' => 'manager_guest'], function () {
    Route::get('/register', 'Manager\RegisterController@showRegister')->name('manager.register.create');
    Route::post('/register', 'Manager\RegisterController@register')->name('manager.register.store');
    Route::get('/login', 'Manager\LoginController@showLogin')->name('manager.login.create');
    Route::post('/login', 'Manager\LoginController@login')->name('manager.login');
});

Route::prefix('manager')->group(['middleware' => 'manager_auth'], function () {
    Route::post('/logout', 'Manager\LoginController@logout')->name('manager.logout');
    Route::get('/profile', 'Manager\PageController@profile')->name('manager.profile');
});

Error after executing php artisan route:list

None of the other answers worked for me as I had a lot of routes to change, and didn't want to change namespaces. The key to making this work is "as". The downside of this being that it changes the path when using "route()", but your use of name on each route here would override that anyway.

Route::group(['prefix' => 'manager', 'middleware' => ['manager_guest'], 'as' => 'manager_guest'], function() {
  ...
}

Route::group(['prefix' => 'manager', 'middleware' => ['manager_auth'], 'as' => 'manager_auth'], function() {
  ...
}
