Kumekuwa na fununu nyingi toka
jana usiku kuhusu kustaafu
kwake, ila asubuhi hii ya leo
amethibitisha yeye mwenye. Sir
Alex Ferguson ameamua kustaafu
baada ya kuifundisha klabu ya Manchester United kwa zaidi ya
miaka 26. Sir Alex Akiongelea Kustaafu
kwake: “The decision to retire is one
that I have thought a great deal
about and one that I have not
taken lightly. It is the right time. “It was important to me to
leave an organisation in the
strongest possible shape and I
believe I have done so. The
quality of this league winning
squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for
continued success at the highest
level whilst the structure of the
youth set-up will ensure that
the long-term future of the club
remains a bright one. “Our training facilities are
amongst the finest in global
sport and our home Old Trafford
is rightfully regarded as one of
the leading venues in the world. “Going forward, I am delighted
to take on the roles of both
Director and Ambassador for the
club. With these activities, along
with my many other interests, I
am looking forward to the future. “I must pay tribute to my family,
their love and support has been
essential. My wife Cathy has
been the key figure throughout
my career, providing a bedrock
of both stability and encouragement. Words are not
enough to express what this has
meant to me. “As for my players and staff,
past and present, I would like to
thank them all for a staggering
level of professional conduct and
dedication that has helped to
deliver so many memorable triumphs. Without their
contribution the history of this
great club would not be as rich. “In my early years, the backing
of the board, and Sir Bobby
Charlton in particular, gave me
the confidence and time to build
a football club, rather than just
a football team. “Over the past decade, the
Glazer family have provided me
with the platform to manage
Manchester United to the best
of my ability and I have been
extremely fortunate to have worked with a talented and
trustworthy Chief Executive in
David Gill. I am truly grateful to
all of them. “To the fans, thank you. The
support you have provided over
the years has been truly
humbling. It has been an honour
and an enormous privilege to
have had the opportunity to lead your club and I have
treasured my time as manager
of Manchester United.”
