What's New in BOSS93

v2.040

August 3, 2026

Players now develop and decline skill by skill, not as one number — youngsters who play pull ahead, and an ageing playmaker keeps his craft long after he's lost a yard of pace. Watch your reserves: a rare few are early or late bloomers who only tip their hand out on the pitch. New: send a scout to sweep a whole division or competition for talent. Stars you sell abroad now actually play abroad. Four more languages — thirteen in all. Plus save-recovery and pre-match squad fixes.

Just brilliant

My favourite game from my childhood has been improved!

How you have managed to keep the addictive quick fire smoothness while adding in a more layered experience should be really admired.

Already recommended this to several friends 👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the review! I'm so happy to read this because this was precisely the goal of this app: keep the amazing game experience of the original game while adding some improvements here and there. More to come!

Great retro game

This is one of the best football management simulators around and would especially appeal to fans of Championship Manager 93/94. It’s challenging and very addictive, especially if you manage a lower league team.

Thanks so much for your review! A lot more is yet to come.

Unbelievable! The best champo!

My first champo back in the day and this is nostalgia in an app!! BUT with all the extras you could dream of! Feels just like the original, and then some. Love the constant updates and new leagues. Plus being able to sign players like gazza!!! The real life players appearing in the season they appeared in real life is an amazing addition..THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for your review! Some more leagues available to play: Germany, France, Norway and Brazil.

Very good but not without flaws

As many others have said, stays true to the spirit of the original game, and is very enjoyable in that sense. The game does have its glitches though, and still feels like a work in progress. Although in fairness, that also mirrors any release of Football Manager in the last 20 years.
Other absurdities exist which are somewhat more annoying, in particular around club budgets; I’m yet to fathom why, if managing Liverpool, I can barely afford any transfer, and am routinely outbid for players by Everton, Sheffield Wednesday, Tranmere, and even Barnsley.
The end of season winnings at the end of a successful season also seem quite detached from reality irrespective of who you’re managing (£1m for winning the PL?!). And I’m supposed to believe I can only attract enough fans to fill the stadium of a Premier League club to around 65% capacity. Ok.
Still plenty of work to do I think, but it’s very promising…

Hi Neilus1, thanks so much for your review! This is indeed a work in progress as the game was just release a couple of weeks ago, still a lot to do. - On budgets, game is very rewarding financially if you are able to buy talent cheap and then develop it. Otherwise you might have problems renewing your old players. This is 1993, where team budgets and prizes were really low comparing to what is today! However, we do have a setting called Classic Mode that puts things a little bit more close, in terms of AI teams bidding requests, making it easier to sign players (AI clubs don't ask that much). It's under settings, Classic Mode. - I'll definitely check that 65% fill capacity on Anfield. Seems odd indeed. Again, thanks a lot for your review and doubts!

Quality

Is it possible to make lay unlimited seasons in a career or 30 yrs like the original ?
