When Alex Ferguson finally decided to call it a day, who did Manchester United pick to replace the manager who — during his 26 years at the club — won 38 trophies, including 13 EPL and two UEFA Champions League titles?
They settled for fellow Scotsman David Moyes, who has earned rave reviews for his mature handling of Everton in his 11 years at the helm.
Why Moyes? For starters, Ferguson handpicked the Everton manager, who has inspired a team of modest means to consistently punch above its weight.Ferguson picked someone who has similar characteristics — a ferocious work ethic and belligerence allied to intelligence.
Moyes has a reputation for honesty and straight dealing which will serve him well at Old Trafford. Moyes recently admitted that he has spent sleepless nights over arguably the toughest job in world football.
