Football ManagerThat’s right budding gaffers, the fastest-selling football management game in the series is ready to ship for the Xbox 360, with all the latest transfer updates and extra options.

Available in stores from 28 March, the Xbox 360 version of Football Manager will be up-to-date with all the latest ins and outs from the January transfer window and will even feature some different online options for Xbox 360 users.

“We’re really pleased to be able to offer all Xbox 360 owners the chance to play Football Manager” commented Miles Jacobson, studio director at Sports Interactive.

“This year’s game is the first that ‘core’ users will be able to enjoy due to the hard work of the development team, and we look forward to getting a new generation of budding Football Manager’s across Europe.”

Courtesy of Xbox Live, aspiring managers have the option to challenge friends to one-on-one matches and even host tournaments.

The game will also be multi-region, so European copies will work on Xbox 360’s around the world.

Ah, we can already hear the impending sound of smashed tea cups...

The original trailer for Football Manager was one of the top viewed videos on YouTube, while demand for the demo version put pressure on the download sites.
