Moyes’ work ethic, his ability to plan for the long term and his knack of building teams greater than the apparent sum of their parts have all been cited as factors in his emergence as Ferguson’s choice for the job.īut it is a step up for him. “But inside, I was incredibly thrilled that I was going to be given the opportunity to manage Manchester United.” “As you can imagine, the blood drained from my face, and I was really shocked - more shocked that Sir Alex had chosen to retire. I was told that I was the next Manchester United manager by Sir Alex. “So I didn’t get a chance to say yes or no. “And he says: ‘Next week.’ And his next words were: ‘And you’re the next Manchester United manager.’ “And we went in, and the first thing he said to me was: ‘I’m retiring.’ And I said: ‘Yeah? When?’ Because he was never retiring, was he? “I was expecting him to say: ‘I’m going to take one of your players, or I’m going to do something else.’ I knew nothing at all about it until Sir Alex gave me a call and asked me to come to his house. “A lot of people thought I’d known something about the job. In the first week of May, while preparing his Everton side for the Merseyside derby at Anfield, Moyes was summoned to Ferguson’s home, in the Cheshire town of Wilmslow, unaware that he was about to get a job offer. He also took the job for another reason - because Ferguson ordered him to. He wants to test himself at the top table of world club football. He wants to win trophies - something he was never quite able to do despite overachieving on minuscule budgets in 11 years at Everton. Otherwise, why take on the job?Īs he faced his first press conference as United manager on Friday, Moyes explained exactly why he took it on. “To manage at this level for 25 years and have his success? I don’t think there will be any other manager that does 25 years at a club such as Manchester United.”Īnd yet Moyes must, at the very least attempt to continue the astonishing run of success that United have enjoyed under Ferguson. How do you follow the man who managed Manchester United for 26-and-a-half years? How do you compete with a man who has 13 English league titles to his name - as many as Arsenal have managed in their entire history? A man who has won the Champions League twice? Who has been the Premier League Manager of the Year 11 times? But even if he isn’t there in person, he will be there in spirit - and Moyes knows it.
A summer hip operation is likely to keep Ferguson away from the early matches of the new United era. Moyes is replacing the most successful manager in British club football history.
When he takes his touchline seat at Old Trafford for his first Manchester United home game, he will be able to look across the pitch and see a roof bearing the words, "Sir Alex Ferguson Stand."
