Premier League Top 30 moments: Number 10 – Sir Alex Ferguson calls time on legendary coaching career
Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest British manager of all time. And probably the greatest football manager of all time.
It really is as simple as that.
In his 26-year stint in charge of Manchester United the Scotsman won 13 Premier League titles in his haul of 38 major trophies and transformed the Red Devils into a juggernaut on and off the pitch.
Sir Alex Ferguson is a true legend of the game and in his final season as a manager in 2012-13, he delivered yet another Premier League title. Since he retired in 2013, Manchester United have failed to win another Premier League trophy.
The way he inspired players, fans and other coaches alike is unrivalled and as well as being a father figure to many, he also wasn’t afraid to tell people how it was. The infamous ‘hairdryer’ was always at the ready…
From the statue and stand named after him at Old Trafford to the many accolades bestowed on him in recent years, Sir Alex Ferguson will always be a giant of the game. His near three decade stay at Manchester United from 1986 to 2013 will go down as the greatest period for any club in football history.
