About Dugout-Online
Dugout-Online is a browser-based soccer management game. You play as the manager of a soccer club. The club is small at first. Then it grows during your managerial career. There are different ways to build the club: training, winning matches in the league, upgrading the pitch, hiring a coach, and more. But you cannot spend money like a big club at the beginning.
