Football Manager is slowly becoming widespread, as Sports Interactive just announced that the handheld version of the game will be soon released on Android. Available already for iOS operated devices, Football Manager Handheld will be available on Android starting April 11.

“Since the first release of Football Manager Handheld for mobiles a couple of years ago, the most asked question on social networks has been ‘When is it coming to Android?’,” says Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive. “Now, we can reveal the answer.”

The 12 countries with playable leagues in Football Manager Handheld for Android are Australia, Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Wales. The game can be played in four languages; English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Football Manager Handheld 2012 for Android is priced at £6.99 and will initially be available through the Google Play store. And certainly this will prove like a great experience for some Football Manager action on the go, even though I do believe that the experience won’t be as complex as the one on Windows or Mac. And for that price, it shouldn’t be!
