Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, two legendary coaches, have been elected into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
The pair left a tremendous legacy with their respective clubs, Manchester United and Arsenal, winning a total of 16 Premier League championships while forging one of the most storied rivalries in the annals of the league.
Since the Premier League’s start in 1992, individuals who have demonstrated outstanding success and made a significant contribution are recognized and honored in the Hall of Fame.
The League awards it as the highest individual honor.
Sir Alex is the most successful manager in Premier League history, with a record 13 titles, including winning the title for three seasons in a row on two separate occasions.
During an incredible 27-year career at Old Trafford, which incorporated 21 Premier League seasons, his Manchester United side won the inaugural Premier League title in 1992/93 to deliver the club’s first league success since 1967 and kick-start a remarkable era of success.
During his tenure, the United squad was entirely rebuilt several times, including a commitment to nurturing prodigious homegrown talents, notably the ‘Class of ’92’, along with a plethora of international superstars.
He finished his career with a final Premier League title in 2012/13.
Six players managed by Ferguson have already been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame: David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel and Paul Scholes.
