SEGA Confirmed overnight that Football Manager 2019 -- the stats-heavy management spreadsheet-style game for, you know, football (or soccer) -- will be arriving on PC this November 2nd, and will also come packaged with a number of new features.

Not the least of which is a new look for the game which also sees the "Manager Man" moved on in place of you -- the new young buck manager.

Football Manager 2019 will be saying goodbye to the iconic ‘Manager Man’ who has featured on the cover of every Football Manager game since FM 2005, to be replaced by a manager’s eye view of the pitch as the gaffer and players head down the tunnel ahead of a big match. With redesigned logos, loads of new and improved features, and the implementation of the DFL Bundesliga license for the first time, Football Manager 2019 is set to be even more comprehensive in its realism than ever before.

Aussie SEGA distributor, Five Star Games, has also revealed that "fans who pre-order Football Manager 2019 (for PC and Mac) from participating Australian retailers will receive a 10% discount right up until launch".

Check out an interesting live-action trailer for the game below.
