Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United manager in 2013 after 27 years, during which he won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League trophies. Javier Hernandez joined Manchester United in 2010 and credited Ferguson with changing players and coaching staff while delivering results. Hernandez said Ferguson helped players develop, was more of a manager than a coach, and prioritized getting the best from players over tactics. Hernandez described Ferguson's retirement as a shock, recalled finding out at Carrington, and said replacing Ferguson with a similar manager was the wrong move.
For me, he was the best because in 27 years at that club, he changed not only players but the coaching staff and still delivered results, the Mexican tells FourFourTwo. He helped players develop in amazing ways. He was way more of a manager than a coach. If you don't get the best out of players, then tactics don't mean s**t.
It was a shock, he continues. There had been rumours the day before in our group chat, but we found out when we arrived at Carrington the next morning. He explained that his wife's sister had passed away and he decided to step down. We all knew Manchester United were going to go through some tough moments. Trying to get another Sir Alex Ferguson was the wrong move, in my opinion. They should have tried something different.
