Frankfurt confirmed the news of Sir Alex Ferguson on its official website, where it announced the arrival of the Manchester United legend. He spoke about the first time he saw Frankfurt play against his boyhood side Rangers in the 1960 European Cup semi-final.

He said,

“In the first leg, Frankfurt beat Rangers 6-1. I was at the second leg when they came to Ibrox with 70,000 spectators.
Of course, we felt hopeful and told ourselves that the Rangers could come back. In the end, they lost again by six goals. I was a Rangers fan and only lived about 200 metres from Ibrox. I also attended the final and hoped Frankfurt would win as they had beaten Rangers."

Sir Alex had an amazing 26 years at Manchester United, winning 38 trophies at Old Trafford, this feat made the Scottish man gain his legendary status and respect at the club.
