FourFourTwo has named Sir Alex Ferguson as the greatest manager of all time.
The Scot is recognised for his remarkable 27-year reign at Manchester United – during which the Red Devils claimed an incredible 38 trophies – as well as the success he enjoyed with Aberdeen earlier in his career.
Ferguson's accomplishments at United – where he managed between 1986 and 2013 – include the 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions Leagues and one Club World Cup.
As Aberdeen boss, he won three league titles, four Scottish Cups, a League Cup, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup. He is the last manager to win a Scottish league title with a team other than Celtic or Rangers.
Ferguson managed Scotland to a group stage exit at the 1986 World Cup, following the sudden death of his friend and mentor Jock Stein ahead of the tournament, having previously served as assistant.
Beyond silverware, it was Ferguson's ability to motivate, spot talents, command respect and move with the times over four decades of football which set him apart from the competition.
He's in fine company on the list – joined in the top 10 by the likes of Johan Cruyff, Matt Busby, Billy Shankly and Pep Guardiola, the highest ranking current manager on the list.
