About The Manager

The Manager is a football (soccer) management simulation released for MS-DOS in the early 1990s and published by the German outfit Software 2000. As the title suggests, it puts you behind the desk rather than on the pitch, handling the off-field side of running a club, the kind of number-crunching, squad-tending experience that had a devoted following among European PC players of the period.

Beyond those broad strokes I can't responsibly detail its specific systems, league structures or interface without guessing, so treat this as a pointer rather than a full verdict. It belongs to the wave of text-and-menu football managers that flourished on home computers before the genre was dominated by the bigger franchises, and fans of that slower, spreadsheet-driven style are the natural audience.
