The Manager download

Before any of the FIFA Manager games hit the stores around the globe, there was The Manager. A pretty complex game for its time, for not only did you have to manage your team as a coach, but you even have to manage your stadium, your team's economy balance etc. It's a huge game, but none the less it's pretty fun. The graphics aren't that impressive, but are colorful and pleasant to look at. The way you do your managerial stuff is well executed. There are a tons of thing you could do. Need more money? No problem! You can ask for a loan from the bank. Stadium is in a bad shape? You can renovate it if you have the money. Team uses weak strategies? Change the tactics. Once you're all set for a new match, you can't really see what's happening on the field, only when there are important events, such as if one of your players scores a goal or misses a chance for a goal, he receives a yellow/red card etc. After the first half and when the entire match is over, you can see how did the other teams perform and can watch your team's standings. There's even a nice newspaper clip that shows how well your team has performed.All in all, if you're a fan of team management video games, try The Manager. It's worth your time.
