FAQ
Are these staff real people or generated by FM?
The staff included here are all real-life football professionals, verified in the FM24 database via the official FM Editor. This shortlist pulls directly from the game’s internal data — no fictional or created staff are included.
Can I use this with men’s teams?
Yes. All staff in this list are available in all databases.
Do I need the FM Editor?
Nope! You only need the base game. This file is ready to load directly into FM24.
Will this be updated for FM26?
Yes. We’ll release an FM26 version shortly after the new database goes live.
Why It Matters
As women’s football grows in real life, Football Manager is starting to reflect that evolution. But staff representation is still limited and often overlooked.
This shortlist is a step toward changing that.
Whether you’re hiring your first female analyst or rebuilding an entire backroom setup, you’re playing a part in making Football Manager more inclusive, one staff hire at a time.
