Championship Manager is a series of football-management games developed by the Collyer brothers. The first game was released in 1992, and the series is what essentially became 'Football Manager' more than a decade later. The games are abandonware and cannot be bought anymore (unless you find a used copy someone is reselling).

For a long time the games from the Championship Manager series have been seen as the best football managers in the world. In the opinion of Sports Interactive and Eidos, the 2003/2004 version is the best of the parts of the game created so far. In comparison to the previous part, Championship Manager: Season 03/04 provides four completely new leagues, an improved database editor, options to view the previously recorded match of our team and updated personal line-ups of football clubs and their coaches. In addition, in the new part of the game we will see 43 national leagues, 100 divisions, as well as a large number of 200 thousand football players from all over the world. Ray Houghton.
