Football Manager (also known as Worldwide Soccer Manager in North America from 2004 to 2008) is a series of football management simulation video games developed by British developer Sports Interactive and published by Sega. The game began its life in 1992 as Championship Manager. However, following the break-up of their partnership with original publishers Eidos Interactive, triggered by the "fiasco" release of CM4 in 2003, Sports Interactive lost the naming rights to Eidos Interactive, but retained the game engine and data[1] and re-branded the game Football Manager with their new publisher Sega.
The latest version of Football Manager, titled Football Manager 2024, was released on 6 November 2023.[2] FM24 is the most played title in series history, clocking 7 million players by the end of February 2024.
