Wenger Says He Had A Conversation With Sir Ferguson After He Retired
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed he had a conversation with the former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. The two men were menace rivals in the Premier League as opposing managers, but their relationship did softened in latter years as the challenge of other teams increased.
Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 after winning the 20th Premier League title and 28 years of serving the club.
Wenger said: “It’s been my life, and honestly, I’m quite scared of the day. Because the longer I wait, the more difficult it will be to lose the addiction.
“After Alex retired and we played them over there he sent a message to me to come up and have a drink with him.”
“I asked: ‘Did you miss it?’ He said: ‘Not at all.’ I didn’t understand that. It’s an emptiness in your life, especially when you’ve lived your whole life waiting for the next game and trying to win it.
“Our pleasure comes from that – and our social attitude as well!”
