Summary
Sir Alex
Ferguson retires, 27 seasons, 71-years old, 13 premier league titles and a
total of 1500 matches as a Manchester United manager. A true legend announced
his retirement, after winning his 13th premier league title as
manager he will not be in charge but he will be still available in an advising
role. Players are not responding yet but they will be shocked and disappointed especially
Ryan Giggs who has played under sir Alex for twenty years. In his early years
he was not very successful for Manchester but surprisingly the board decided to
stay loyal for a change. 27 years later he has a statue in front of the Old Trafford
stadium.
My opinion
From the
moment I was able to form an opinion on football I have been a huge fan of sir
Alex Ferguson and when I heard the news he was going to retire I did not know
how to respond, I just sat quietly at my desk for a moment out of shock. To
imagine Manchester United without him is impossible for me and he will be
missed throughout the whole world of football. I would rather not see him
retire from football but he will retire with exactly 1500 matches as manager
which is a great number, fitting for a manager of his stature.
I am truly happy for him. Ending your career like this, has to be the best way of saying goodbye to the sport. Nowadays clubs change of coach every season, how can you ever build up team chemistry like that? He and Manchester United form a good example for the rest of the football world.
