On Sunday, Sir Alex Ferguson surpassed Sir Matt Busby’s record to become the longest serving manager in Manchester United’s history.
Sir Alex has been in charge of the club for an astonishing 24 years, 1 month and 15 days. During his reign, Sir Alex has led the club to 11 Premier League titles, 2 Champions League titles and 5 FA cup trophies, making him the most successful manager in
the club’s history.
Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton was full of praises for the 68-year-old Scot and said, “He's been sensational for United. When we first got him you could tell he had the work ethic, he wasn't satisfied with second best, he wanted to be winning
all the time. In our wildest dreams we couldn't have expected Alex Ferguson to be so successful over all this time - especially when the average time for a manager to stay in any one place is just three and half years.”
Sir Alex Ferguson is widely considered the best manager in football nowadays. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello went so far as to declare Sir Alex the best manager of all time. The Scotsman took charge of Manchester United back in November 1986. When he took over,
the Red Devils were second from bottom in the League. Sir Alex turned things around within the space of a few seasons. He broke Liverpool’s dominance over the league and has since won an astonishing 11 premier league trophies.
Over the years, Sir Alex has shown he has an unparalleled ability to spot talent. He has produced some world class players during his reign at the club. These include stars like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 and Ronaldo. His
ability to polish raw talent, as well as his astonishing tactical acumen, have ensured that he goes down in history as one of the most successful managers of all time.
Even after 24 years in charge, Sir Alex Ferguson shows no signs of slowing down. The 68-year-old is looking to win his 12th Premier League title this season. Sir Bobby Charlton believes the Scot still has it in him. “He loves every minute of it
and he's going to be with us for quite a while yet - which is bad news for the rest of the league,” he said.
