Josep Guardiola, who is defining the modern direction of world football, does not consider himself a master. In his opinion, the strongest coach in the history of football is the English legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Spanish specialist, who has been managing Manchester City since 2016, recently stated in an interview:
— Sir Alex Ferguson is the number one coach in the history of football. He was the first to create change and dynamics in the entire field, — he expressed his opinion.
Indeed, the name Sir Alex Ferguson is respected not only in England but throughout the football world. He worked at Manchester United from 1986 to 2013, turning Old Trafford into the most prestigious fortress of English and European football.
During Ferguson's era, United won the English championship 13 times, the FA Cup 5 times, and the UEFA Champions League trophy twice. At the same time, he demonstrated unparalleled maturity in quickly adapting to changes in football, tactical innovation, and turning talented youngsters into major stars.
Experts emphasize that Ferguson not only fought for results but also created a huge school of experience in forming a characterful team striving for a common goal. His passion and life dedicated to football continue to serve as a model for coaches today.
Guardiola's acknowledgment not only highlighted Sir Alex Ferguson's personal achievements but also once again demonstrated his impact on the entire football world. The highest praise among legendary coaches is being awarded to a person who is indeed recognized as "the greatest of all time."
