How it works
The job is simple.
Keeping it isn't.
- 01
Take a job
A club hands you the dugout and one season objective. Sign it, or let the board find you a job at random.
- 02
Survive 38 matchdays
Every matchday you choose how the team sets up. The match plays out minute by minute. The table moves around you.
- 03
The board watches one number
Trust. Win and it climbs; lose and it bleeds out. Nobody upstairs cares about your process — only the results.
- 04
Get sacked — or become a legend
Hit zero trust and it's over. Hit your objective and you can walk away a legend, or push your luck for another season.
The view from the dugout
Every matchday
is a decision.
SACKED is a free, browser-based football management roguelite. You take charge of one of twenty Premier League clubs and get a single season — thirty-eight matchdays — to hit the objective the board handed you on day one. There is no transfer window to hide behind and no second chance: one run is one season, and the only number that matters is board trust.
Before each match you read a scout report on the opponent and pick your approach — press high, keep the ball, sit and counter, or park the bus. The match plays out minute by minute, goals and all, and at half-time you make the call to chase the game or protect what you have. Win and trust climbs. Lose to a side you should have beaten and it bleeds away. Between fixtures, dressing-room, press and boardroom event cards force choices that follow you for weeks.
Trust hits zero — or you fall short of the objective — and you are sacked, your run logged on the leaderboard with the matchday it ended. Survive the season and hit your target and you can walk away a legend, or gamble everything on a harder brief the following year. Every club plays differently, every objective carries its own difficulty, and no run lasts forever.

Questions
What is SACKED?+
A football-management roguelite. One run is one Premier League season — 38 matchdays at a club that just hired you and would love an excuse to fire you.
How do I lose?+
The board watches one number: trust. Poor results drain it. Hit zero, or fall short of your season objective, and you're out of a job.
How long is a run?+
Around 20 to 30 minutes. Each matchday you pick an approach, the match plays out, and you live with the result.
Can I save and come back later?+
Yes. Your run lives in your browser. Close the tab mid-season and pick up exactly where you left off — same club, same trust, same pressure.
Do I need an account? Is it free?+
No account, no download, no cost. It runs in the browser and nothing about your run ever leaves your device.
The job is yours.
The question is how long you last.
