fter nearly 27 years and 1,499 matches at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson heads into his last game as a football manager surprised by his own longevity and desperate to end his illustrious career on a winning note.
The 71-year-old Manchester United manager will retire after Sunday's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns, ending a 39-year coaching career that began in the Scottish lower leagues.
Ferguson says "1,500 matches - it's quite incredible," adding that "the memories are all there ... I'm lucky to have been here that long."
The Scot says he is ready for the "challenges" of retirement, which will involve taking a closer involvement in his second passion of horseracing and spending more time with his family.
