Sir Alex Named LMA Manager Of The Year
-
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been named the League Managers' Association's Manager of the Year for 2007/08.
The Scotsman sealed his 10th Premier League title in the 16 years the competition has been in existence on Sunday, and is now looking forward to Moscow, where his side face Chelsea and the chance to win their second Champions League trophy during their tenure, and third in total.
Sir Alex previously won the award in 1999, when he of course led his side to an historic treble, capped by Champions League glory he will be hoping he can re-live in just over a week's time.
He succeeds Reading boss and former Manchester United player Steve Coppell, who won the award in the previous two seasons for his heroics with a limited Reading side, who suffered the unfortunate fate of relegation this time around.
Upon winning the award, Ferguson said: "It is a tremendous honour that my fellow managers and LMA members should deem me worthy of this award. I am very proud to receive it." -
as much as i think SAF was a terrible bastard when he destroyed Kegs in the past, he's mellowed a lot and is more likeable now... age does a lot to people and he's much nicer now
with his achievements and this year's showing, it's well-deserved
