FERGIE RETIRES
It’s no longer news that Sir Alex Ferguson retires
at the end of the season following his confirmation of the news when it
broke.NSM wishes him a fulfilling life in retirement. During his 26 years at
the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier
League and two UEFA Champions League titles. He is a
great achiever and a football manager extraordinaire. He will be remembered for
his runs, gesticulations on the sidelines and gum chewing on the bench. He was
Manchester United’s Manager for 26 years and he took the football club to
enviable heights. In those years he was the face of United since he took over
from Ron Atkinson
in November 6, 1986.He commanded respects even among his opponents in the EPL.
Jose Mourinho described him as a great manager and one of the best the game has
ever produced. The popularity he brought to Man United got the club fans all
over the globe.
How will Manchester United cope without The Boss?
Will it take its pride of place in the football world? Football community will
miss him but at the background, he will surely be working for the club as a
director and ambassador. For those who are close to him it didn’t come as a surprise to them that he decided to retire
this time after countless speculations
in the last few years. Age is no longer on his side (he is 71) and he couldn’t cope
with daily rigour of matches and trainings. He must have planned it to retire
on the high by winning the 2012/2013 English Premiership League. Not many knew
that his first match was a 2-0 defeat to Oxford United in November 8, 1986 and
in 1989 United was just managed to escape relegation. Journalists and fans were
once calling for his resignation in those first three years.
