A decision that does not pass. This Tuesday, October 15, the British media The Athletic revealed that Manchester United was terminating the contract of Six ambassador Alex Ferguson, legendary coach of the “Red Devils” between 1986 and 2013. The INEOS group, with its boss Jim Ractliffe, which acquired 27.7% of the club’s shares last February, led an austerity policy with the aim of reducing costs within the club. Since leaving the club in 2013 after winning, among other things, the English championship 13 times and the Champions League twice, Six Alex Ferguson has received a salary of around 2.6 million euros per year for his role as ambassador. . Despite this decision, the Scotsman, now 82 years old, is still invited to come see Manchester United at Old Trafford and is said to have kept good terms with the Mancunian leaders. Note that Sir Alex Ferguson still occupies the position of non-executive director, appearing on the club’s board of directors in a symbolic role.
Eric Cantona loses his temper against Manchester United
If Sir Alex Ferguson seems to have accepted his fate, Eric Cantona is furious at the decision taken by Manchester United. Legend of the English club where he played between 1992 and 1997 under the orders of the legendary coach, the “King” severely took the leaders of the “Red Devils” to task on Instagram. The Frenchman deplored the treatment reserved for his former mentor with a statement true to his reputation: “Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do whatever he wants at the club until he dies. What a lack of respect. This is totally scandalous. Sir Alex Ferguson will be my boss forever! And I throw them all in a big bag of shit!“
