I believe that all football fans have, at least once, played Scudetto, the best managerial football game of all time, where a real Serie A or Serie A soccer team must be managed as president / virtual coach B of the Italian championship or a European championship.
On the internet there are many similar games, some less advanced than the very complete Scudetto, others that are more similar to a Fantasy Football but all very funny.
The differences between them are mainly based on the amount of manageable options and the speed of a game: some games on the list require time and spirit of competition while others can be played more quickly, to pass the time.
Almost all of them are of the Browser game genre, that is a competition only between real players, made up of games played virtually .
In another article I talked about what, in my opinion, was the best 3D online soccer game to play as a Pes or Fifa, now we see the list of strategic games in the style of Football Manager, where you are mainly virtual coaches but also footballers, presidents and fans.
1) Goleada is one of the best free managerial games that can be played online via web browser, in multiplayer.
The game, in Italian, allows you to measure yourself against other players as a team manager, taking care in particular of the players' line-up, tactics, substitutions during the game and analysis of the opponent.
A very nice peculiarity is the possibility to follow the games in 3D, so you can take countermeasures if necessary and change modules or players.
You can then play the Italian championship and the European cups in which the best classified participate.
You can even become coaches of the national team, if voted by other coaches to do so.
2) Online Soccer Manager OSM is a beautiful soccer manager game that can be played both online and on Android and iPhone.
The game is super realistic, fun and multiplayer, with online challenges against other players.
3) Top Eleven is the most played online game on Facebook where you have to train a football team, train, organize the club and manage finances.
Being a game on Facebook, Top Eleven ensures interactivity and competition among the millions of virtual coaches who can challenge each other to see who is the best.
Top Eleven can also be played on Android and iPhone for free.
4) Football Superstars where to live a life as a footballer is a different genre but always of a strategic managerial type.
5) Calcio Street is a bit different than the others because the aim is to become the strongest footballer of all.
Everything takes place on the website, we start by choosing the player and personalizing him a little.
The aspiring world champion must then go to the gym, strengthen, train and become stronger before taking on the challenges.
These challenges are one-on-one for 10 minutes.
The players can then join together and form a team so they can challenge each other and participate in the championship.
6) World Cup is perhaps the most playable and easiest to use, completely in Italian and very engaging, it allows everyone to become virtual technicians of a football team.
In addition to coaching the team, you must also manage it as president, being careful of the budget.
The game, in Italian, allows you to give a name to the team and also to choose in which city to put your municipal stadium.
Also important is the management of the technical staff between second-back coaches, goalkeeper coaches and doctors.
For each player you can have a detailed card with the list of parameters relating to its technical characteristics and its state of form.
This is one of the most complete and best managerial football games, full of features, varied and realistic.
7) Soccer Manager is a soccer manager game that proposes itself as the main alternative to FootBall Manager, complete and very elaborate.
You become a coach but there is a virtual psychological component to motivate every single player on the team.
Obviously there is no lack of management aspects of the stadium (restaurants and shops are also made around the commercial area), staff and so on.
You can play online on PC using Facebook, in single player mode or in multiplayer mode, or even on Android and iPhone.
8) Trophy Manager is perhaps the most beautiful game on the list, complete in all, similar to the original Football Manager (which is paid).
The community of players is really large because Trophy Manager has been online since 2006.
The aim of the game is to manage a football team better than others and bring it to victory.
Very accurate, immediate and above all simple graphic interface.
You can choose the shirt, name the players, assign a symbol on the flag, make press releases, train the team, grow the youth sector or spring, manage the stadium, buy and sell players and so on.
The games are played 3 times a week and there are also cups and friendlies.
As for the others, the game is followed with a real-time action report.
Although the commitment must be constant, Trophy Manager is perhaps the most playable in terms of simplicity, involvement, functionality.
9) Hattrick is the world's most famous football manager game on this list.
Over a million players have signed up and you can compete with anyone.
This is a classic time-based browser game with no graphics that perhaps suffers a bit of seniority compared to some others.
The commitment is required, both to train the team and to play the games that take place in real time about twice a week.
You can do a transfer market, you can manage the staff, you can decide the training and so on.
10) Planet Manager is another pearl on the list, one of the best there are, especially for us Italians.
it is a kind of Hattrick that takes place in seasons, very sober in graphics but very involving in substance.
The whole game is free and, even if with donations you can have (virtual) shirts and more personalizations, there is no advantage of favorable referees.
Constant online presence is not required and the training system can be programmed.
11) Goal United is another of the giants of this particular genre of video games.
There are more than 2 million members from all over the world and many Italians ready to challenge each other.

You can manage a football team from every point of view, both technical, tactical, managerial and economic.
The nice thing is that you can also train a national team and this summer there will be the World Cup.
12) PowerPlay Manager, in Italian, is a site specializing in sports managerial games that has launched football in recent months.
