In his early managing career, at the age of he 32, he joined East Stirlingshire. This small club got higher place in league than St Mirren where Fergie had given the chance to manage St Mirren. Then he take the challenge and join St Mirren as the new manager. Unfortunately, due to some internal problem, St Mirren had become the only club to sack Sir Alex. After that he joined Aberdeen in June 1978. Having some good times in this club, Ferguson had received a few offer from England like, Arsenal, Wolverhampton and Liverpool.

He also well-known as a brilliant manager. his tactical was superb especially playing against big teams. he also very good at buying and selling players. He brought in a player that really suits the playing styles that he needs and the whole team needs.

During his day in United, he had won many titles such as, 13 times PL champion, 5 times FA cup champion, 4 times League Cup champion, 2 times UCL champion and others.
