My Greatest Regret As Manchester United Manager – Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson

Former Manager has revealed his greatest regret
in his entire coaching career at Manchester
United.
The former manager said missing out on the
Champions League final in 2001-02 was one he
would never forget.

The Red Devils were eliminated from the
competition at the semi-final stage by Bayer
Leverkusen, denying the legendary manager the
opportunity to lead his side out at Hampden in
his home city of Glasgow.
Ferguson had a tremendous record in cup finals at
the home of Scottish football, winning on three
occasions, and he rues the missed opportunity to
do so on the European game’s biggest stage.
“The one I really regret was not taking
Manchester United to the final in 2002,” he said
as Glasgow’s logo for Euro 2020 was unveiled on
Tuesday. “The whole build up was about getting
to the final in Glasgow, but we lost the semi-final
to Leverkusen.
“We were a bit unlucky – we ran out of time,” he
joked, with a reference to the famous ‘Fergie
time’. “The referee couldn’t understand my time
and his time!”
