What was FIFA 06’s career-focused management mode called?

FIFA 06’s career-focused management mode was called Manager Mode.

The mode let players take charge of a club over multiple seasons while handling football decisions beyond individual matches. It represented the club-management side of FIFA, including team development and broader managerial responsibilities.

FIFA 06 was released in 2005 and was one of the major annual entries in Electronic Arts’ football franchise. Its Manager Mode helped establish the longer-term management framework that later FIFA games expanded with more detailed transfers, scouting, staff systems and objectives.

The name is easy to confuse with Career Mode, the label used in many later FIFA editions. “Manager Mode” is the specific title associated with FIFA 06, while later games increasingly combined player and club management under the broader Career Mode name.
