Football Manager 2022 can be a real pressure cooker depending on who you’re managing so we thought we ought to put together a guide on resigning from your role.

Of course, it’s not a guarantee that you’ll succeed with whoever you decide to manage.

You may well jump into an elite club and find it difficult to mount a title challenge, or qualify for the Champions League, or you might find yourself in a relegation battle at the bottom of League Two, scratching and clawing for every single point you can lay your hands on.

That could lead you to eventually hold your hands up and accept that you simply can’t achieve the goals set out for you by your board.

Variety, after all, is the spice of life, and that is part of what makes Football Manager 2022 so endlessly replayable, and so downright brilliant.

And there’s every chance that you may actually be too successful.

If you take over a lower-league club and guide them into the top-flight, only to see there being next to no transfer funds to spend, and interest from other clubs in your managerial services, then resigning may not be the worst option.
