About Sir
Sir Alex Ferguson, CBE managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. His time at the club has led to Ferguson being regarded as one of the most successful, admired and respected managers in the history of the game and is credited with being the driving force that took the Football Club to the most valued sports franchise the world.
Ferguson managed East Stirlingshire and St. Mirren before a highly successful period as manager ofAberdeen. After briefly managing Scotland following the death of Jock Stein, he was appointed manager of Manchester United in November 1986. Ferguson is the longest serving manager of Manchester United, overtaking Sir Matt Busby’s record on 19 December 2010, eventually completing more than 26-and-a-half years as the club’s manager. He has won many awards and holds many records including winning Manager of the Year most times in British football history. In 2008, he became the third British manager to win the European Cup on more than one occasion. He was knighted in the 1999 Queen’s Birthday Honours list, for his services to the game.
On 8 May 2013, Ferguson announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United. During his 26 years at the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions Leaguetitles. The phrase “squeaky-bum time” coined by Ferguson in reference to the tense final stages of a league competition has been included in the Collins English Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.
