Touchline Football Manager

Touchline Football Manager is a retro-styled football management game inspired by the classics of 1993 - pick-up-and-play management without the spreadsheet overload. Take charge of any club across a five-league pyramid and write your own story, from non-league obscurity to the top of the game. Pick from 116 clubs and over 2,800 players, all in a fully self-contained world. Every save is your own career: make the transfers, set the tactics, manage the money, and live with the results.

TAKE CHARGE OF ANY CLUB

Start anywhere in the five-division pyramid. Win promotions, survive relegation battles, and build a club capable of competing with the best. The board sets your targets each season - meet them or face the consequences.

MASTER YOUR TACTICS

Choose from eight formations, from a solid 4-4-2 to an attacking 3-4-3. Set your mentality, assign players to roles, and adjust on the fly. In-match, switch tactics and make substitutions to turn a game around before the final whistle.

BUILD YOUR SQUAD

Work the transfer market: scout targets, negotiate fees, and agree personal terms. Sign free agents and overseas talent, take players on loan, and develop your own stars through the youth academy. Every player has attributes, form, and a personality of their own.

TRAIN AND DEVELOP

Set your weekly training focus and intensity. Train formations to build familiarity, sharpen your squad before big matches, and bring young prospects through to the first team.

RUN THE CLUB

Balance the books with matchday income, prize money, and sponsorship deals. Negotiate budgets with the chairman, hire coaches and scouts, and invest in your stadium to expand capacity, upgrade facilities, and meet the grading needed to climb the pyramid.

COMPETE FOR EVERYTHING

Play a full league season with promotion and relegation, plus domestic cup competitions and continental nights under the lights. Pre-season friendlies and international breaks round out the calendar.

MAKE YOUR NAME

Track your career across seasons, trophies, finishes, and reputation to build a managerial legacy. Retro presentation, modern convenience. Multiple save slots, quick weekly advances, and a clean, readable interface designed for mobile. No complicated menus, just the management game at its purest. Can you take a fifth-tier minnow all the way to the top? The touchline is yours.
