#2 Sir Alex Ferguson: 26 years & 8 months at Manchester United
Regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has won a grand total of 38 trophies at Old Trafford. It includes two Champions League trophies, a record-setting 13 league titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
The Red Devils had not won a league title since 1967 and their illustrious northwest rivals Liverpool were pulling away from the rest of the pack. Ferguson made it his goal to reel in the Reds.
He did not have it easy at first. The memorable banner which said ‘3 years of excuses and it’s still crap... Ta Ra Fergie’ are now fondly remembered for what could have been had the Scottish manager not been given time to make United a competitive team.
And once the Premier League was formed, there was no looking back. United became the team to beat winning titles galore with brief rivalries with Arsenal and Chelsea. The 1999 treble was Fergie’s biggest triumph as they won the Champions League in the dying seconds of the final. In the end, he did manage to see United overtake Liverpool and win 20 titles in all compared to the Reds’ 18.
“My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f***ing perch. And you can print that!” – Sir Alex
