FIFA 23: 10 Rumours You Need To Know

2. Playing As Real-Life Managers

Want some Career Mode rumours? You got it.

Word on the street is that FIFA 23 will let you pick from several top managers when launching a new save. That means you'll finally be able to play as tactical favourites like Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, for example. Bonus points if you can one-word every question like Pep when you're peeved.

It's unclear whether or not EA plans to expand on the creation suite for your custom-made gaffer, but it'd be sweet to have more options there too. Being able to pick their history (maybe they were a world class player who retired last season, or perhaps they never played the game at all and need to earn respect) would be awesome.

Finally on this, there's no real concrete news on just how many real-world managers will be playable. There's a chance EA will limit things to the Premier League, because that's where most of the top bosses work.

This is a long-overdue addition regardless of numbers.
