Legendary Manchester United manager has been awarded the Walther Bensemann prize for his services to football.
The Scot picked up the award in a ceremony in Nuremburg on Friday night, which is given to people who have managed outstanding work in football – and was made to honour ‘Kicker’ magazine founder Bensemann.
Former winners include Old Trafford favourite Sir Bobby Charlton and Alfredo di Stefano.
On receiving the trophy, the Old Trafford favourite said: ‘I think to last 39 years as a coach is unique and also that the people I worked with bought into the work ethic I had, I think that was important.’
Ferguson managed Man Utd, Aberdeen, St. Mirren, East Stirlingshire, and Scotland over 39 years, winning 49 trophies and taking charge of the Scots at the 1986 World Cup.
Kicker publisher Rainer Holzschuh explained the decision to award the 74-year-old the prestigious award, saying: ‘You’ve changed the English style of play and created a modern football culture.’
