Master the Pitch and the Boardroom in New Star Manager

Step into the dugout and experience football management like never before in New Star Manager. Created by Simon Read, the developer behind the BAFTA Award-winning New Star Soccer series, this title expands on the addictive formula that captivated over 30 million players. While its predecessor focused on the journey of a single player, New Star Manager places you in total control of New Star FC—a struggling club in need of a visionary leader to guide them from the lower divisions to the pinnacle of global football.

Total Club Ownership and Tactical Depth

In this immersive sports simulation, your responsibilities extend far beyond the touchline. You are the heart and backbone of the club, tasked with managing every operational facet of a professional football organization. The gameplay offers a unique blend of high-level strategic management and direct on-pitch influence.

As manager, you must oversee:

  • Club Infrastructure: Construct and upgrade vital facilities, such as training grounds, to enhance your team's development.
  • Squad Development: Manage player training regimes, utilize scouting departments, and implement fitness and skill cards to boost individual player abilities.
  • Staff and Logistics: Hire or fire backroom staff, choose the perfect sponsors, and manage the club's growing finances.
  • Tactical Command: Build your dream squad, select winning formations, make decisive substitutions, and even enter the locker room to provide crucial half-time motivation.

On-Pitch Action and Off-Pitch Drama

Unlike traditional management sims that rely solely on spreadsheets, New Star Manager keeps you intimately involved in the game's most pivotal moments. Using intuitive controls, you can direct your players to make incisive runs, dribble past defenders, tackle opponents, and execute clinical finishes. This "pick-up-and-play" mechanic ensures that even during intense matches, you feel the weight of every goal scored or missed.

However, success requires more than just good tactics. You must navigate a web of off-pitch drama to keep the club stable. Handle volatile players by monitoring their quirks and outbursts, manage the expectations of the club board, and face the scrutiny of the sporting press. Keep the fans believing in your project while ensuring the club's finances remain healthy enough to sustain growth.

A Premium Experience for Football Fans

Available on PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android, New Star Manager offers a deep, rewarding simulation of the world's biggest leagues and cup competitions. While mobile players can enjoy the game via a free-to-play model, console and PC versions provide a premium experience with a one-time purchase fee, removing the pressure of microtransactions and focusing entirely on the climb to glory.

Whether you are a veteran of the New Star series or a newcomer looking for a tactical football challenge that balances deep management with direct gameplay, New Star Manager provides an addictive, long-term experience that will keep you coming back to the pitch season after season.
