by Carlos D. Mojica (@CD_Mojica) While I’d be lying if I said that I had never heard of the Football Manager franchise, the truth is that I had never really delved into the game. Football Manager – or FM for short – is quite popular amongst soccer fans around the world, as well as among the soccer die-hards in the U.S., so I had heard tales about its addictive nature.

It is a book with instant credibility thanks to the author’s vast experience and raving reviews from the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, David Stern, Ray Hudson, and Billy Beane.
