Be the Manager 2021

Be the Manager 2021 puts you in charge of a soccer club, where the central objective is to guide the team toward success through management decisions. The game uses a 2020/2021 database containing real teams, managers, and players, giving the club-management setting a defined seasonal context.

Build the club around your decisions

Your responsibilities extend beyond the lineup. You can upgrade stadium facilities and make infrastructure choices intended to support the growth of the club. Player transactions are another central part of management: buy and sell players, negotiate deals, and assemble a starting eleven suited to your plans.

Set tactics for matches

Before and during matches, the documented management tools include choosing strategies, experimenting with tactics, and making substitutions. You can also develop star players, connecting squad development with the decisions made for individual games. The game includes improved tactics and discipline systems, along with new game modes, although the supplied information does not detail separate rules for those modes.

Follow competition and club finances

Progress is informed by competition information such as match results, standings, top scorers, and rival managers. The source also identifies the possibility of being fired, making awareness of the wider competition part of the managerial challenge. Away from the pitch, you can choose sponsorships and television-rights contracts, then manage the resulting revenue and resources as part of the club's longer-term direction.

Season database and game version

The game is listed for Android as version 2.1.4. Its player, manager, and team database is specifically tied to the 2020/2021 season, while the available management systems cover facilities, transfers, tactics, player development, discipline, and club finances.
