Football Academy Manager

Football is full of hidden talent — and it’s your job to find it

You build an academy by finding them early, developing them properly, and selling at the right moment so you can grow.

You scout youth matches to reveal real ability, sign the prospects that fit, train with clear focus, upgrade your facilities, and reinvest through transfers. Every decision feeds the next step.

• Scout youth players — watch match simulations, reveal skills and traits over time, and sign the right prospects into your academy.

• Develop talent — set focused training (e.g., Stamina, Vision, Finishing) and let match minutes turn potential into progress.

• Upgrade your academy — improve facilities to speed development and raise your prestige.

• Sell players — move graduates on to interested clubs and fund the next wave of prospects.

You follow games from the sidelines as key moments unfold — goals, chances, cards, swings in form. Performances shape your assessment: strengths stand out, gaps become clear, and a player’s stock rises or settles based on what happens on the pitch.

You choose who to watch and come back until the picture is solid. Hidden attributes become visible, consistency (or the lack of it) shows up, and the rough outline turns into a real profile. When a prospect fits, you make the offer and bring them into the academy.

You start modest and improve with intent. Facility upgrades sharpen training and recovery and lift your prestige, opening the door to stronger opposition and better development paths. Step by step, your academy becomes the place where potential turns into output.

Development is targeted, not vague. You set the focus, earn progress through minutes, and see steady gains across seasons. When the time is right, you sell — not for clauses or bonuses, just a clean move that funds your next signing and the next upgrade.
