According to a forum post by an SI bunny, Sports Interactive has no plans for a PS Vita version of the massive selling Football Manager series. Despite doing great sales on the PSP (and still the current PSP No. 1 in the UK) over the years, the post says:
"Unfortunately there are no plans presently to do a Vita specific version of FMH at present, sorry."
Sports Interactive has exposed more of the game’s workings to players than ever. It feels both fresh and familiar at the same time, while being the best FM has ever played at launch.
The perennial favourite Football Manager makes its debut on the Switch. Does this addictive management sim have the same allure in your pocket? In today's review, Jump Dash Roll heads to the dugout to have a few words with the referee.

This saddens me.
They made one for PSP, but no plans for the VITA?
Damn. Really like FM :(
The mysterious person quoted was probably me; to put some more detail into things ...
At present there are no plans to do a Vita specific version of Football Manager Handheld at present.
The PSP version will however work fine on Vita.
So saying that there isn't a specific FMH game on vita is a bit like saying we don't do a specific iPhone4s version of FMH, yes its true - but most people are happy enough playing the 'standard' iOS version which works on an iPhone3g.
Hope this helps,
