ir Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson, Kt, CBE, popularly known as Sir Alex or Fergie (born 31 December 1941 in Govan, Glasgow) is a Scottish football manager and former player, currently managing Manchester United, where he has been in charge since 1986.



Ferguson previously managed East Stirlingshire and St. Mirren, before a highly successful period as manager of Aberdeen. Briefly manager of the Scotland national team – in a temporary capacity owing to the death of Jock Stein – he was appointed manager of Manchester United in November 1986.



With 23 years as manager of Manchester United, he is the second-longest serving manager in their history after Sir Matt Busby, while his tenure is the longest of all the current League managers.

He was an inaugural inductee into the English Football Hall of Fame for his services to the English game, was knighted in 1999 by Queen Elizabeth II and currently holds the Freedom of the City of Aberdeen for his services to the city, having managed the city's football club to a host of major trophies in the early to mid 1980s.

They married in 1966 and have three sons: Mark (born 1968) and twins (born 1972) Darren, currently manager of Preston North End, and Jason, who runs an events management company.

Sorry to hear about his health issues but the old chap had his time their he has done a great job with the club historic wise but those days are over. It's time to start a new chapter with the Red Devils and I belive Jose Mourinho would fit that coaching spot well after next season. It's time to let go of Giggs, Scholes,Park.Owen It's time to bring in young blood no matter if it's English or Foreign and Mourinho is the man that will decide these changes also I am sure if Mourinho does decide to come back I am more than certain Ronaldo will follow.

At the age of 68, he's old enough to know all the tactic in the world.
