Alex Ferguson is a former football player who served as the manager of the Manchester United Football Club for over 26 years. Regarded as the most successful manager in the history of the game, he is also the one who served for the longest period. He began his career as a player with Queen’s Park but could not secure a regular place. He moved on to play for St. Johnstone and then later on to Dunfermline.

He entered a new phase in his career accepting a managerial position with the East Stirlingshire. He acquired the reputation of a strict manager who expected nothing but the best out of his players. Over the years he went on to serve as the manager for St.Mirren and Aberdeen, and brought about an almost miraculous transformation in the performance of the players. An excellent manager with a glowing reputation, he was signed by Manchester United to reverse the team’s dismal performances. He held the position for many years helping the team win prestigious titles and in the process became Manchester United’s most successful manager ever.
