Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 12/05/2024
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 23:15
What is your time zone? GMT (UTC)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Bug Description: When attempting to enter an online match with a Swedish manager in my squad, I consistently receive the following warning message: "You must assign a Manager located in the lower right of the screen." Despite having a manager selected, as shown in the attached image, the issue persists. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a Swedish manager for the squad. 2. Attempt to proceed to an online match. 3. Observe the warning message. Observations: The issue occurs regardless of which Swedish manager is selected. Replacing the Swedish manager with one from a different nationality resolves the issue, but this reduces my squad's chemistry to 33.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot proceed into a match with any Swedish manager selected. However, if I switch to a manager of a different nationality, I am able to proceed without issues. The error consistently occurs with all Swedish managers, regardless of who is selected.
What should be happening instead? The game should recognize Swedish managers and allow me to proceed into online matches without displaying the warning.

    Thank you for your reports. For now, I recommend using other management items while our team continues to investigate this issue.

    Hi. I've got the same problem, but with a different manager: P. Rahmen from Switzerland. Tried it with two different items, bought both from the transfer market. Error last occured on December 12, 14:51 CET. I am playing on PC.
