Details:
Sir Alex announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United after 27 years in the role. He has gone out in a blaze of glory, with United winning the Premier League for the 13th time, & he is widely considered to be the greatest manager in the history of British football.
Over the last quarter of a century there have been seismic changes at Manchester United. The only constant element has been the quality of the managers league-winning squad & Uniteds run of success, which included winning the Champions League for a second time in 2008. Sir Alex created a purposeful, but welcoming, & much envied culture at the club which has lasted the test of time.
Sir Alex saw Manchester United change from a conventional football club to what is now a major business enterprise, & he never failed to move with the times. It was directly due to his vision, energy & ability that he was able to build teams both on & off the pitch. He was a man-manager of phenomenal skill, & increasingly he had to deal with global stars. His relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, for instance, was excellent & David Beckham has described Sir Alex as a father figure.
Over the past four years, Sir Alex has been reflecting on & jotting down the highlights of his extraordinary career & in his new book he will reveal his amazing story as it unfolded, from his very early days in the tough shipyard areas of Govan.
