Management And Manchester United
Posted in Manchester United Football Club | 0 commentsHere is another amazing fact for you all. In the 115 year history of Manchester United Football Club, there has only been 17 managers in charge of the first team. In a world, where aclub is becoming increasingly likely of going through 17 managers in 17 years, that is somewhat amazing! The roll of honour is as follows:
| Name | Period |
|---|---|
 A. H. Albut |
1892-1900 |
| James West |
1900-1903 |
| J. Ernest Mangnall |
1903-1912 |
| John Bentley |
1912-1914 |
| Jack Robson |
1914-1922 |
| John Chapman |
1921-1927 |
| Lal Hilditch |
1926-1927 |
| Herbert Bamlett |
1927-1931 |
| Walter Crickmer |
1931-1932 & 1937-1945 |
 Scott Duncan |
1932-1937 |
| Sir Matt Busby |
1945-1969 & 1970-1971 |
| Wilf McGuinness |
1969-1970 |
 Frank O’Farrell |
1971-1972 |
| Tommy Docherty |
1972-1977 |
| Dave Sexton |
1977-1981 |
| Ron Atkinson |
1981-1986 |
| Sir Alex Ferguson |
1986— |
As you can see, Alex Ferguson is fast approaching the benchmark that Sir Matt Busby has set. Busby was in charge for 26 years, with a break of a year and made the club what it is, but Ferguson is taking it to the next level. In 2012, if he is still in charge, he will become the longest reigning manager in the history of the club.
