History of the game

The game which is the first of this type created by Panini comes from the experience built up in over 40 years of editorial publications on football. Over the years Panini has accumulated a vast wealth of statistical information that has given life to the PaniniDigital.com data base.

A large part of this statistical wealth has been used for and is the basis of Squad Manager.

To make the statistics to which the user has access during the game even more effective, Squad Manager has been enriched with exclusive graphics (Shots on Target Graphic, and Game Density Graphic) created with the contribution of DigitalSoccer Project, the company of the Panini Group that is the leader in consultancy and the analysis of technical and tactical football aspects.

Squad Manager offers the chance to step into the shoes of a football team manager and lead it to success by means of intelligent sporting and economic management.

Every match is accompanied by a commentary that will not fail to point out the most intelligent and inspired actions.

The exclusive SuperLega mode of play, which enables every user to set up the team of his dreams with a few clicks, freely choosing from all the players on the data base, and to challenge the best managers in the world, also contains two important features:

• the Multi-player mode: that enables a SuperLega to be played with up to 8 managers at the same time;
• the Players' Editor: that enables, still in SuperLega mode, one or more imaginary players to be included in the game, hopefully with your name and your technical characteristics. In this way, your alter ego can try its hand, even if only in Squad Manager, with the greatest football champions.
