The developer of Football Manager says that a new wave of football documentaries could have a "really intere🎐sting" impact on the series.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, Nic Madden, match producer at Sports Interactive wa🅠s asked whether programs like Amazon's All or Nothing series or Netflix's Sunderland 'Til I Die had been discussed as a potential future mechanic for the games.

Madden said "I imagine that would be a full can of worms, in a good way! It'd be really interesting actually, it'd be a good design project for the design team. We certainly have watched a few of these documentaries an🌌d have said 'okay, there's some particular shifts that we can make here', or maybe it's 'oh, we haven't actually got this fully accurate'."

"These documentaries are a learning opportunity for any foot🤡ball fan, but I love watching them. The new ones are reallyꦡ good, but even some of the older ones, like [2011's QPR: Four Year Plan], they're crazy. Crazy but funny. In that humor, it would be really interesting if we could do something similar in Football Manager."

Football Manager has a history with these sort of documentaries as wꦡell. In 2020's All or Nothing: Tottenham, then-manager Jose Mourinho's desktop featured the Football Manager 20 logo, implying the special one spent his time away from being a r🎃eal football manager by being a virtual one instead, something that Madden says was "quite nice to see."
