Sir Alex Ferguson told he is not the best manager ever in the Premier League

Former Middlesbrough boss, Neil Warnock, has listed three Premier League managers, who are better than the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.

Fergie is regarded as one of the best to ever do it, following the success he enjoyed with Manchester United in his 27 years in charge.

During his time, Fergie won 13 Premier League titles and 2 UEFA Champions League titles, and since his departure in 2013, the Red Devils are yet to lift the league.

But despite his achievements, Warnock doesn’t believe Fergie is the best ever, naming the likes of Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola ahead of him.

He’s quoted as saying by Metro Sports, “Since the Premier League started if I was picking my top five managers… I would pick Arsene Wenger as the number one.

“Only because he changed the whole outlook on modern footballers. He brought so many things in that had never been thought of.

“The nutritionist, the fitness guys, video, technology. He changed the whole course of it when he came into the Premier League.

“Guardiola would be second, his influence on the parks and the lower down leagues has been fantastic.

“I would put [Jurgen] Klopp third because I think he’s just beginning and he will get even better.

“But his outlook and everything he has done at the club and the future with the kids – I think he has got another 10 years coming forward.

“So I think he’s third at the minute, but could easily be number one in a couple of years.

“Fourth, I would probably go with Sir Alex [Ferguson] just in front of Jose Mourinho because he has done it for longer.

“I just think he was in an era where it was all about man-management, it wasn’t down to all the backroom staff, and Sir Alex was probably the best at that.

“[He] deals with the media at the most difficult times, but I would still put him number five.”
