Whilst the Championship Manager series would go on, Eidos no longer had any source code, or, indeed a developer for Championship Manager. These developments led to a further announcement that future Sports Interactive football management games would be released under the famous Football Manager brand name. On 12 February 2004, after splitting from publishers Eidos Interactive, it was announced that Sports Interactive, developers of the Championship Manager game, had retained the rights to the source code but not the rights to the title Championship Manager, which were held onto by Eidos (who previously acquired the brand rights from Domark upon their merger in 1995). As of February 2021, the series has sold over 33 million copies. The latest version of Football Manager, titled Football Manager 2021, was released on 10 November 2020 (Early Access Beta) followed by the full released on 24 November 2020. 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 and re-branded the game Football Manager with their new publisher Sega. The game began its life in 1992 as Championship Manager. Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, Stadia, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series Sįootball 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.
