Football management for the person above the manager
Build the club. Not just the team.
Football Sporting Director 27 puts you in charge of a football club's future: transfers, contracts, scouting, the academy, the budget and the appointment of the manager. Your manager picks the eleven. You decide who is at the club to pick from.
Single player. Plays offline. No account needed. A fictional football world with fictional clubs and players.
Every decision a sporting director makes
You run the club. Your manager runs the matches.
Transfers and negotiations
Make bids, structure deals with clauses, handle incoming offers for your own players and work the deadline. Windows open and close on the calendar, and other clubs are doing business at the same time.
Scouting and recruitment
Send scouts across a world of fictional clubs and players, build a shortlist and read the reports before you commit the budget.
Contracts
Negotiate wages, length, bonuses, squad status and release clauses. Renew the players who matter early, and manage the ones whose deals are running out.
The academy
Run under-18 and under-21 groups, bring players through and decide when a youngster is ready for the first team.
Finances and the board
Work within a real budget: wages, transfer spend, matchday income, sponsorship and the board's allocation. The board sets a vision for the club and measures you against it.
Managers and your career
Appoint the head coach, negotiate their contract, back them or replace them. Do well and bigger clubs come asking. Lose the board and you may be waiting for the phone to ring.

About the game
Most football games hand you the dugout. Football Sporting Director 27 hands you the desk above it. You are appointed by the board, judged on the club's direction, and expected to build something that outlasts any one season.
Leagues, domestic cups and continental competition run on one calendar. Live match reveals let you follow a fixture as it turns, and at the end of the season you get the final table, the honours and the season's own story from your club's point of view. Then the next season begins, if you still have the job.
Football Sporting Director 27 is an independent game developed and published by Umbrella Weather Ltd in the United Kingdom. It is single player, plays offline, needs no account, and keeps your saves on your device. You can keep several careers at once and export a save to move it between your own devices.
