How to get a new job in Manager Career Mode
In the majority of recent EA FC and FIFA games, the process of finding another job in Manager Career Mode has been incredibly straightforward – and arguably it was dated. However, the whole process has been reworked so let’s see how you can get a new job in EA FC 26 Career.
EA FC 26 introduces the Manager Market, a dynamic system where managers are no longer tied to a single club. Understanding how to navigate this system is key to advancing your managerial career. Here’s a step-by-step guide (our gallery below will help you).
How to find another job – Step by step guide
1. Monitor Available Positions
Keep an eye on the Manager Market interface. When clubs part ways with their managers, caretaker managers may temporarily take over, and permanent roles will be advertised. Clubs that match your profile will often be highlighted in the Suggestions tab.
2. Evaluate Job Compatibility
Your chances of landing a role depend on multiple factors:
- Your performance against your current club’s objectives
- The quality of your current club versus the target club
- Compatibility of your Tactical Vision with the club’s preferred playing style
- Tenure and reputation in your current position
- Nationality alignment with the target club
High compatibility increases the likelihood your application will be accepted.
3. Apply Strategically
Once you find a club that fits your profile:
- Declare your interest through the Manager Market
- Ensure your performance and Tactical Vision align with the club’s needs
- Focus on clubs where your application has a high likelihood of success rather than applying broadly
4. Receive and Respond to Notifications
You can set notifications to alert you when jobs that match your profile become available. This ensures you don’t miss opportunities at clubs where your skills and style are a strong fit.
5. Confirm the Job and Plan Ahead
If your application is successful:
- Accept the contract offer, including salary and tenure details
- Be aware that your Tactical Vision may influence how the club plays and which players are prioritized
- Use the new role to build your reputation and position yourself for future, higher-profile opportunities
How Tactical Vision Impacts Getting a New Job
Tactical Vision plays a critical role in Manager Market decisions:
- Clubs assess whether your preferred tactics align with their current playing style.
- Certain clubs favor specific approaches (e.g., Possession Play, Park the Bus), so compatibility can influence whether you make the shortlist.
- Applying to a club with a matching Tactical Vision increases the likelihood of getting hired.
- Conversely, using a Tactical Vision that conflicts with a club’s philosophy can reduce your chances, even if your performance is strong.
Gameplay Tip: Tailoring your team’s tactical approach at your current club can boost future job opportunities by improving compatibility with higher-profile clubs.
How to Shortlist and Set Notifications on Jobs
EA FC 26 allows you to actively track jobs and receive timely alerts:
- Use the Suggestions Tab: This highlights clubs that match your profile, performance, and Tactical Vision.
- Shortlist Target Clubs: Add desirable roles to your shortlist to monitor openings.
- Enable Notifications: Receive updates when a position becomes available, ensuring you can act immediately.
- Evaluate Opportunities: Review contract terms, club quality, and Tactical Vision compatibility before applying.
By managing shortlists and notifications, you can focus on realistic opportunities and make strategic career moves without missing key openings.
