Fergie’s Farewell: A Decade On

Regarded as one of the great football minds & the most decorated football manager of all-time, this week marks the tenth year since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped away from the beautiful game. A historic 26-year reign at the helm of Manchester United saw him win 38 trophies with the club while fulfilling his ultimate goal of knocking Liverpool off their perch. He made the decision to retire at 71 years old after securing United’s 20th league title at the end of the 2012/2013 campaign on the 8th May 2013. To celebrate the iconic coach, we take a look back at his leadership style and the different facets that made him a living legend not just for the club, but for modern football as a whole.
