[@elnuffio]

Fergie was clearly moved by-and learned something from-this gesture from Bayern. Mourinho tells a similar story from his time at Porto. They're in the dressing room having knocked United out and they get a knock on the door. Sir Alex and his captain, Gary Nevile. They came to congratulate him, even after an emotional defeat (I'm pretty sure this was the "run down the touchline" knockout tie where Scholes had a goal controversially disallowed). To be able to congratulate the winners even when you're fuming on the inside. That's true sportsmanship. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHjbapufp8mDo8U

[@chlee4256]

Legend. Just listening to him speak evokes memories of respect. Back then when he was manager, win or lose, he's the calming influence the team and fans look up to. No matter how bad the defeat was, the fans always knew the team would bounce right back. And the fans knew back then that it would be the end of an era when he decided to retire.

[@RizaBochiza]

Yes, so calm. Who could forget that time he calmly kicked that boot into David Beckham’s head?

Utd fan - Bayern hit the bar and the post in the final v utd. They were unlucky to lose it. Bad luck is one of the toughest things to process, if it leads to defeat. The way bayern acted on that day when they congratulated ferguson and shook his hand, well, i dont think i couldve. That just shows the sportsmanship of the team. And then to go on and win the same cup only a couple of few years later, thats classic right there. To process the unlucky defeat and to move on and eventually win the tournament in the future, well thats a masterclass from bayern on how to react to defeat. I congratulate and applaud them for overcoming that!

@@udaysonowal3573 ancelotti only has done well with madrid because of his blank cheque and bayern with lack of competition in the league, and Mourinho was the first manager to spend over 1 billion so safe to say he was backed nicely as well- Alex Ferguson had to live through the glazers and the obsessive board always trying to keep the net spend as low as humanly possible WHILST winning a champions league with a bunch of kids and also with a load of players he developed himself. Not saying the other two aren’t good because would still be top 3 for me but in comparison to ferguson his man management, ability to develop players from nobody’s and his skill to read the game I personally believe is unmatchable. Just what I think though

[@viciousvicious1340]

He was the best I've known. How many players come out of the club from playing to go on to be or try to be a coach. Under SAF he changed the mentality of the the players as so many who were former players or last played under SAF go on to be managers or talk more about their time at United. The influence he had was phenomenal so many ex-player went on to be managers or come back to be ambassadors. He has even given a motivational speech to players in a game that wasn't football. He has probably done that a few times. But I only know of 1.

Impresionante Sir Alex. No puso de ejemplo a su equipo tras la pregunta del entrevistador sino a un rival muy especial al que el Utd. enfrentó. Realmente esas cosas humanas ayudan tanto a los entrenadores, más que el conocimiento táctico en sí. Impresionado con la humildad de Ferguson. Nunca a medio vapor, o está frío o está caliente. Eso lo hizo ser muy resistente en un banquillo muy difícil. Gracias Sir Alex, nunca tendré el placer de entrevistarlo, pero disfruto cada una que usted contesta.
