Become the Brains Behind the Legacy

Football fans have a lot to say when it comes to the matches and how their favorite teams are managed. It is something that they don’t have a qualm voicing out, especially if their team loses. But while there are many avenues in which you can voice out your opinion about the latest football match, it remains just like that: an opinion. With Football Manager 2020, you can put your ideas to good use and do things your way when it comes to running your own club. This simulation game app lets you dive into the world of football managers and gives you a near life-like experience of managing a professional football club. Every decision counts and you will need to take greater accountability for your team.

The FM Franchise

The Football Manager franchise is a series of simulation games from Sports Interactive which began its life in 1992 bearing the name of Championship Manager. However, the game developer broke up with its then-publishing partner, Eldos Interactive, and have lost their naming rights to the game. However, come 2004, Sports Interactive announced that they have retained the rights to the source code of their original simulation game and released a new football management game. Only this time, it will bear the name of Football Manager, since Eldos had the rights to the Championship Manager brand rights.

Since the first Football Manager game, Football Manager 2005, the franchise gained a level of popularity that can rival Championship Manager 5 from the Eldos-funded Beautiful Game Studios. And every year, the series releases FM games, each bearing updates to make your gaming experience even better. It even released a mobile version and a massively multiplayer online game to bring the joy of football management to more players.
