After 26 years as manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to step down from his post at the end of the season!
This has come to a bit of a shock to all sports fans who was convinced that Ferguson would hold out much longer than this, but it could also just be a case of feeling like no time has passed when in fact more than two decades have gone by!
In a statement, Ferguson sounded off on his decision saying, “The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time.”
Though he will no longer manage Manchester United, he will be taking on the new roles of both director and ambassador.
