Take the role of a football club manager and guide a team through successive seasons. Choose from clubs across 50 countries, with no preset ending or fixed path to success.
Scout players and staff, make signings, set your tactical approach and prepare the team in training before managing matches. Define players’ expected roles and playing time across their contracts.
Work with the board on ongoing objectives and longer-term milestones that shape the club’s direction. The Development Centre supports youth players as they progress toward the first team, while backroom staff contribute advice and help with club operations.
Several reviewers enjoy the depth of team management and the scope for long-term saves, including guiding a favorite club toward success and building a legacy over many seasons. Some also praise the interface and match engine as smooth or accessible, while others mention hard-to-find options, inconsistent match results, or limits on substitutions.
