Coventry manager Steven Pressley is the latest to praise Manchester United’s Sir Alex Ferguson after he has labelled the 71-year-old as an inspiration to all managers. Ferguson recently announced this decision to retire from his managerial career after more than 40 years of managing several clubs. However, he is widely known for managing Manchester United former than 26 years. During this period, he has managed to lift 38 titles with the club. This trophy haul includes Premier league and Champions League titles as well.

The longevity of Ferguson has always been spoken of as a model for several clubs, who constantly change their managers. Ferguson almost came close to losing his job after three years without a trophy at Manchester United, but he has since gone on to create a legacy at the club that will be hard to overcome. Pressley has said that the most important characteristic of Ferguson is his will to win, which is extremely strong even at the age of 71 years. Over the course of his incredible managerial career, Ferguson has overseen 1499 matches yet he retains the same will to win.

Pressley has also praised the way Ferguson has managed to create a style of football, which has become synonymous with Manchester United.

“He’s an inspiration to us all in terms of his desire about his job and the intensity in which he goes about it, he’s never lost that. He’s never satisfied even when he wins the league because the next time he wants his team to win it again with even more style. He’s embraced new methods and changed with the game but he’s still stayed true to the old school values, he’s never lost his hunger and always looks to improve his team no matter what they achieve,” said Coventry manager Pressley.

The Coventry City manager Mark Robins has said that the players got carried away with the occasion after suffering a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crewe Alexandra. Coventry came into the match on the back of a brilliant run of form, which has seen them go on an unbeaten run in the last four matches. As a result of this form, they have been able to close the gap on the club’s in the play-off position. Coventry were expected to challenge for promotion spot, and Robins is extremely delighted that they are finally close to achieving the same. However, he said that the occasion got to the players during the match against Crewe Alexandra.

As a result of this defeat, Coventry City now face an uphill task to progress to the next round of the Johnson paints trophy. Coventry will have two more matches to recover the form before they face Crewe in the return leg. Coventry faced Crewe Alexandra in front of more than 30,000 fans, who were expecting the home team to win quite comfortably. Due to this electric atmosphere, Coventry started throwing men forward and forgot the task of defending. This allowed Crewe to score three goals and take a commanding position in the tie.

“It was an electric atmosphere but having created numerous chances we started to get anxious and we left the middle of the pitch wide open. You’ve got to give credit to Crewe because from their point of view it was a perfect away performance. And we knew that was what they were going to do so it’s disappointing that we didn’t stay calm. It didn’t help that they had a goalkeeper in inspired form. We were a victim of our own phenomenal support,” said the Coventry manager after the match. Coventry will face Yeovil town during the weekend.
