So soon after the release of patch 10.1.1 for Football Manager 2010, Sports Interactive have released a major new patch for the game: patch 10.2.0. It's worth noting that those who are playing the Steam version of the game will get auto-patched as soon as the game starts, but if you wish you can download the patch (especially for boxed copies) following the links I have provided below.

As I was saying, Football Manager 2010 patch 10.2.0 is a major patch, and you can read all the details about it here. Or you can check out the most important changes (in my opinion) brought to FM 2010 after this patch:
