From staff search to a coaching shortlist
Search the staff in your career
Explore the readable staff records in your own save, rather than a fixed starting-database shortlist. Search by name or club and narrow the results with staff filters.
Compare coaching assignments
Use attribute-based estimates to find candidates for coaching assignments. Compare relevant attributes before approaching a coach; stars are estimates, not a promise of an in-game rating.
Keep a practical shortlist
Save local favourites, compare staff profiles and export matching results as CSV. Check employment, willingness to join, wage demands and compensation in your career.
Find coaches on Mac in three steps
- Finish saving your career in Football Manager 2027.
- Open Savegame Scout and choose Open save. Select the original .fm file from your Games folder.
- After the career opens, select Staff & coaches. Filter the staff records, compare attributes and review estimated coaching assignments.
On Mac, the usual local folder is:
~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 27/gamesIn the file chooser or Finder, press ⌘⇧G, paste the folder path and select your save. If you changed your user-data location, use that location instead. No copy to Downloads is needed.
Read a snapshot, then refresh when you are ready
This tool reads completed saves, not live game memory. Reusable file connections and read-only autosave-folder connections are available in compatible desktop Chrome and Edge. Your browser controls file permissions. Optional connection memory and the seven-day decoded-game cache are separate settings, off by default.
What stays on your device?
Your save file, decoded player and staff records, private searches and CSV exports are processed locally. Choosing a file is not the same as uploading it to a website. This page uses ordinary website analytics; the Scout workspace excludes the analytics beacon. The reader software is downloaded when needed.
Check compatibility before opening a career
The reader currently targets FM27 desktop build 27.0.0+2486695 and completed .fm files up to 250 MiB. Console, Touch and Mobile saves are not supported. Reading a large file can take a few minutes and substantial browser memory.
Beta limitation: users have reported player-identity verification errors with some careers. We cannot promise every save will open. If verification fails, no results are imported. Try the fictional demo without selecting a personal file, or report your browser, build and in-game date through Send feedback.
