The Championship Manager update that will delight Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham fans

The game that made Cherno Samba famous is back - and with a twist!

Championship Manager 01/02 is unanimously regarded as one of the most popular football management games of time - and now, with large swathes of the country in isolation - it has been made available with modern day squads.

With thanks to the team behind champman0102.co.uk, you can now enjoy the game in its entirety with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe all included in the updated game.

And the best part? The game is now a legally free download!

This find was originally brought to people's attention by football writer Daniel Storey on Twitter.

Now, the social media site is awash with rejoicing fans of the old franchise using the game to while away the hours.

If you're looking for a bit more information on the game - including everything from squad lists to transfer budgets - then you should be able to find everything you need to know here.

Meanwhile, the latest version of Football Manager has also now been made available for free on steam for the next week, finishing at 3pm GMT next Wednesday, March 25.

This free access is available to both Mac and PC users and will be entirely free-of-charge until this next week has expired.

From then, users will have the option to buy the game to ensure FM20 stays within their Steam library.
