It seemed inconceivable not so long ago, but Sir Alex Ferguson’s crown as The Greatest is under threat with Manchester City just 11 games from making history.
Should Pep Guardiola’s City match United’s 1999 Treble and lift the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, many would argue the Catalan had usurped Govan’s most famous son as the best manager over the last 50 years.
Though Fergie has won more league championships (16 to Pep’s 10) and they have a couple of Champions Leagues each, Guardiola has already won his own English grand slam of Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup and is regarded as a coaching guru in a way Ferguson never was.
