Championship Manager: Season 02/03 is a football management simulator developed by Eidos Interactive and released in 2002 exclusively for Xbox. Part of a long-running series that had sold over three million copies worldwide by that point, the game tasks players with taking charge of a football club and navigating the strategic decisions involved in managing a squad through a season. Building on the strong reputation the Championship Manager franchise had established in the UK, this installment aimed to deliver an up-to-date and accurate representation of the sport's management landscape at the time. Rather than focusing on on-pitch action, the experience centers on the tactical, administrative, and personnel decisions that shape a club's fortunes across a campaign.
