Football has over one million fans worldwide, but their involvement in the game is mainly local. It would be dream come true for most die-hard football fans to coach and manage international teams. This is made possible thanks to Football Manager .
Football Manager has been in existence for over two decades now and started off as a football manager simulation game. However, over the years, Football Manager has undergone many revisions, and every new version brings more features, easier navigation and increased enjoyment. Football Manager , Football Manager 2, Football Manager World Cup Edition, Football Manager 3, Football Manager 2005, Football Manager 2006, Football Manager 2007 and Football Manager 2008 are all the various versions. Football Manager is compatible with both Mac and PC. Football Manager challenges not only the player’s football strategy, but also interpersonal skills, negotiation skills, and leadership qualities.
The Manager can have one to one conversations with every player and discuss strategy. The Manager can also get a feedback on the rival team’s strategy and game technique from the players whilst also explaining contract situations. The Manager can advise retiring players about a future career in Football as a coach or a manager. After training the players, the next challenge is how rival clubs react to your performance. When a new player from another club signs a contract with the Manager’s club, the rival clubs may also tactically absorb players from the Manager’s club or choose not to have any dealings in the transfer market.
Apart from personal interactions, Football Manager challenges the manager’s negotiation skills. With the Transfer Manager, the Manager is also in charge of all accounts for the club. He/She has to choose to accept or reject loan bids and also handle current transfers.
