SEGA and Sports Interactive today announced Football Manager Live, a footy management MMOG due in Spring 2008. Might seem a long way off, but you may be able to get on the planned beta which starts in May, check out footballmanagerlive.com for more details.

The game is the brainchild of Sports Interactive co-founder, Oliver Collyer and is designed for a whole new audience of football gamers, as well as existing Sports Interactive fans.

"With Football Manager Live, we're ripping up the script that says how online football management games should work" says Oliver Collyer. "We're creating something that is fun, challenging and sociable."

"Imagine a cross between Football Manager, fantasy sports and auctions sites and you are part of the way to understanding Football Manager Live" commented Miles Jacobson, Managing Director of Sports Interactive. "It’s great to be able to announce the game, and we can’t wait to see the reaction to the beta when it launches next month."
