Surely all people know that football in the form in which it now exists was invented in England. Perhaps that is why in this country with such respect and recognition are those people who have had a significant impact on the development of football in general and individual football clubs in particular.
One of the most respected people in English football is rightfully considered Ferguson Alex. This man devoted his beloved game his whole life, and his brilliant career became an example for many aspiring athletes. However, to begin the story of this man is with a brief biography.
Biography
Ferguson Alex was born December 31, 1941 in the Scottish city of Glasgow. He was from a poor family, but this did not stop him from starting a football career.
All successful coaches began their journey in football with a player’s career. So did the 16-year-old Alex. He played as a striker and even managed to score a goal in his debut match for the Queens Park team.
However, the career that Alex Ferguson built as a player did not prove to be as successful as coaching. Without a doubt, he was a worthy football player and managed to score many goals, but this did not bring worldwide fame. In 1974, Alex Ferguson completes his career as a player and almost immediately begins coaching.
Career coach
Alex Ferguson's career as a coach began with small clubs. The first job for him was the East Sterlingshire football team. Ferguson Alex showed himself perfectly, and the owners of larger clubs began to notice him. After that, the novice trainer then changed several more jobs and always proved to be a real professional. That is why in 1986 he was appointed to the main position in his life - the position of head coach of Manchester United.
Manchester United Jobs & Autobiography
The career that Alex Ferguson built at the Manchester club was truly brilliant. To understand this, just look at the period during which the coach was at the helm of the team. He was 26 years old and lasted until the moment when Sir Alex himself decided that it was time for him to leave. During this time, he has done more for the team than any other person in the history of this club. To list all the achievements and trophies is useless, because there are too many of them.
Sir Alex wrote a rather voluminous, but very interesting autobiography about his life and work at Manchester United, which can greatly help those who are just starting their way in football, whether it be a player or a coach.
