01 / DIRECT ANSWER
Find the manager first—then classify the outcome
Run Live Editor, load the intended offline mode, press F9, open Features → Managers, find the exact Manager ID and choose Edit. Name, transfer and firing have Wiki procedures. IDs, traits, licensed state and Career controls require narrower proof. Portraits live in files; job offers begin from the issuing team.
Name + Manager ID + current team.
Identity, employment, control or media.
Manager, Team, file or Career system.
02 / OWNERSHIP MAP
A managerial outcome can belong to four different systems
Name · IDs · traits · employment actions.
Club or nation creates a user job offer.
Manager-ID miniface loaded at runtime.
Security, Unsackable and market controls.
ROUTING RULE: a managerial result does not prove Manager Editor owns the action. Follow the object that issues, stores or enforces the change.

Route the manager through the accountable system
The Career Board produces a local case receipt. It never edits FC 26 and contains no fake Fire, Transfer, Save, Accept or Disable control.
Transfer manager
This target matches the narrow creator-published workflow.
- ACCOUNTABLE SURFACE
- Manager → Transfer Manager
- PUBLISHED ACTION / BOUNDARY
- Choose the exact destination team from the list; the Wiki then reports Done.
- PERSISTENCE LANE
- Immediate employment action → verify → Career Save
- BLAST RADIUS
- Destination incumbent, dual roles and universal undo are not documented.
- EVIDENCE RECEIPT
- Verify manager, old employer and destination employer after reload.

MANAGER OP / Transfer manager TARGET / CPU club manager STATUS / DOCUMENTED OWNER / Manager → Transfer Manager PERSISTENCE / Immediate employment action → verify → Career Save PROOF / Verify manager, old employer and destination employer after reload.
06 / COMPLETE OPERATION MAP
Nine outcomes; only three share the same evidence level
07 / TARGET ELIGIBILITY
The narrow feature rule overrides the generic manager list
OWN-MANAGER PORTRAIT: both Generate and Import are explicitly unsupported. A different save or file name does not remove the target restriction.
08 / EXACT ENTRY ROUTE
Enter through Managers with the intended mode already loaded
DOCUMENTATION CLEANUP: the Wiki’s opening copy inherited “player editor” language, but its title, Managers navigation and screenshots establish Manager Editor. This hub normalizes the entity without inventing additional support.
09 / PERSISTENCE CONTROL
Six finish lines prevent a false “done”
Dedicated form Save → same-manager reload
Generic Save is visible; field persistence needs proof
Action → verify both sides → Career Save
heads_staff file → Live Editor runtime
Controlled setting/state A/B test
Issuer → correct market → accept → Career Save
Manager → Remove Changes is visible in an official screenshot. No public contract makes it a universal undo for popup saves, employment events, external portraits or accepted offers.
10 / NAME & RELATIONAL KEYS
A name describes the manager; IDs decide who the record belongs to
Dedicated popup and dedicated Save. Verify against Manager ID.
Editable since v26.2.8, but no collision-safe reassignment recipe is published.
SAFE DEFAULT: use Transfer Manager for an employment outcome. Do not simulate a transfer by guessing or swapping Team ID values.
11 / TRAITS & LICENSE STATE
Release-confirmed fields still need one-field evidence
Field exists. Portrait, face and name side effects are not promised.
Edit surface exists. Public trait list and effects are not enumerated.
Use filters to find a cohort; do not turn the visible list into a batch claim.
12 / TRANSFER MANAGER
A move changes a manager and potentially two clubs
Record both IDs and the destination incumbent.
Choose exact Club B from the list.
Inspect Club A, Club B and Player Editor regression surfaces.
CURRENT INCIDENT SIGNAL: official issue #17 reports Player Editor crashes after its author moved their user manager between leagues. It does not prove the cause; capture versions, route and logs if the same boundary appears.
13 / FIRE MANAGER
Dismissal is documented; succession behavior is not
The action exists on the exact manager.
No timing, successor or confirmation contract.
Verify manager and former club before overwrite.
14 / BOARD CONTROL
Job Security and Unsackable are official—but not fully specified
No published scale, board-rating mapping or persistence owner.
Protects the managerial story; do not call it an objective or rating reset.
15 / TOUCHLINE MEDIA
The portrait belongs to Manager ID—not the Career slot
Use when the current 3D manager already looks right.
Exact CPU manager, actual DDS bytes and `heads_staff` owner.
HARD TARGET STOP: the user-controlled Career manager is not supported by either route.
Open the Manager Portrait Lab →16 / USER APPOINTMENT
Your next job starts with the issuer—not your manager record
Create Job Offer from the exact issuer.
Manager Market or International Job Search.
Verify employer, then save the Career.
17 / CAREER SYSTEM
Disable Manager Market acts above the individual manager
The v26.2.9 changelog locates the switch under Miscellaneous Features → Career Mode → Manager. Its effect on generated offers, applications, vacancies and already-employed AI managers is not publicly defined. Use an A/B Career copy, not assumptions.
18 / EVIDENCE & VIDEO AUDIT
Close the case across identity, employer and reload
Current videos expose real-manager, traits, security and Unsackable demand. None owns the full manager × context × persistence matrix; creator documentation remains authoritative.
19 / FIELD QUESTIONS
Manager Editor FAQ
01Where is Manager Editor in FC 26 Live Editor?+
Run a compatible Live Editor, load the intended offline mode, press F9, open Features → Managers, find the exact manager and choose Edit.
02Can Manager Editor be used online or on console?+
No. This hub documents the Windows PC offline tool. FUT, Clubs, online matches and console workflows are outside scope.
03How do I change a manager name?+
Open the exact manager, click Manager Name, fill the popup inputs and use its Save button. Record Manager ID first and verify the same record after reload.
04How do I transfer an AI manager?+
Open the exact manager, choose Manager → Transfer Manager and select the destination team. The Wiki then reports Done; verify the manager plus both club states before saving the Career.
05Does Transfer Manager safely move my own Career manager?+
The creator does not publish that as the user-manager workflow. Use Create Job Offer from the desired club or nation, then accept it through the correct in-game market.
06What happens to the destination club’s current manager?+
The public Wiki does not define displacement, firing, dual-role or vacancy behavior. Record both manager/employer pairs and test from a backup.
07How do I fire a manager?+
Open the exact employed manager and choose Manager → Fire Manager. Treat it as destructive: no public replacement-timing or universal-undo contract exists.
08Can I make myself unsackable?+
Unsackable and Job Security are official Manager Career features, but no dedicated current Wiki publishes their exact values or persistence. Use one controlled change and reload proof.
09What do Manager Traits change?+
The changelog confirms Manager Traits and trait filtering, but does not publish a complete trait list or guaranteed match-engine effects. Treat one-field edits as VERIFY work.
10Can I import a portrait for my own manager?+
No. The dedicated creator documentation says Generate and Import work for managers controlling CPU teams and do not work for the user’s own manager.
11Is Create Job Offer inside Manager Editor?+
No. The issuing club or nation owns the command in Team Editor. The resulting club offer appears in Manager Market; a national offer appears under International Job Search.
12Does Remove Changes undo firing, transfers or accepted offers?+
No universal scope is published. It is visible in the Manager menu, but should not be advertised as undo for employment events, external files or accepted market transactions.
