Ultimate Soccer Manager or USM is a soccer management video game series for MS-DOS and later Windows 95, produced by Impressions and distributed by Sierra from 1995 to 1999. The game was never more than a minor hit in Europe (except in Germany, where it was better received due to some similarities with managers produced by local software houses such as Software 2000 and Ascaron), although it gained much support in Japan.

The series was noted for its micromanagement, where the player had to do the job of the team manager and much of that of the chairman, from player training up to bank balance management. Other well known features were to bung an opposing team for preferential market treatment, rig or betting on the outcome of the players' team matches. Interviews after the match where some answers were printed with different interpretations on the next days' newspaper (the player could reply a question about the game with "It was a game of two halves", and "He amazed us after the game by giving us an insight into the rules of football" would be printed on the newspapers).

In all three games, the game always kept the same visual style: the main screen is a bird's eye view of the stadium facility (where clicking on the grass brings the squad selection screen or in the stands for the stadium builder) and all screens are presented like the player was inside an office (TCM 2004 used a similar interface option). To increase the feeling of "being there", tables are accessed via teletext, news from a newspaper and fixtures are available by clicking on a sheet attached on a clipboard.
