"Championship Manager 2006" is a continuation of the classic series of football manager simulators.

Players choose a club from one of 26 different countries and take on the role of a manager, responsible for tactics, training, acquiring new players, negotiating contracts, etc. The game is very statistically complex and assumes that players have a fairly deep knowledge of football, which makes it different from more affordable competitors.

New features in this version include 3D camera match previews, limited player information only revealed through scouting, and overall data and gameplay improvements.
