Alex Ferguson

A Scottish football manager and former player, he currently manages Manchester United, where he has been in charge since 1986. One recurring theme of Ferguson’s management of Manchester United has been his view that no player is bigger than the club. He has consistently taken a “my way or the highway” approach in his dealings with players and the pressure of this management tactic has often been the cause of many notable players’ departures. This disciplinary line that he takes with such highly paid, high-profile players has been cited as a reason for the ongoing success of Manchester United.
