In May 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement after almost 27 years in charge at Manchester United, with the most successful tenure for a football manager in modern football, winning 49 trophies and amongst them 13 Premier League titles.

The most highly decorated manager of 71 years of age is likely to be succeeded by fellow Scotsman David Moyes, 50, who had managed Everton Football Club on meagre resources by English Premier League standards and his appointment comes as a shock compared to the big money moves of recent times.

Pundits had predicted Jose Mourinho, Jürgen Klopp, Jupp Heynckes as probable big name signings but they were proven wrong by the British club’s decision to go for a homegrown talent in the form of Moyes.
