Ferguson took the reins at Manchester United in 1986. During his 27 years in charge, the Scot guided the Red Devils to more than 30 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns.
Thus, he is widely regarded as the best manager in Premier League history. However, former Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock does not share this view.
Asked by talkSPORT to pick his top five managers in Premier League history, Warnock first named former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. Warnock hailed the Frenchman for changing the outlook on modern footballers, while also revolutionizing English football.
Warnock placed Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in second spot and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in third on his list of top five managers. However, the former QPR boss feels Klopp could soon become the best in the business.
Warnock then placed Ferguson in fourth place, pointing out how the Manchester United legend remained at the top for a long time. However, Warnock feels coaching was all about man-management in the Scot’s era.
Manchester United have not won the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure
Sir Alex Ferguson called time on his managerial career at the end of the 2012-13 season after guiding Manchester United to the Premier League title.
The Red Devils have been managed by the likes of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since Ferguson’s departure. However, none of them have been able to win the Premier League title with Manchester United.
Ferguson still works closely with Manchester United and played a key role in persuading Cristiano Ronaldo to return to the club this past summer.
