Default Boss to quit in three years

But Sir Alex believes it will be time to call it quits when he is 69, after 25 years in charge. He said: "I'm getting beyond the future now. I still have a lot of passion. I'm still happy. But I'm 66 now - maybe three years more, then I'll finish." Ferguson believes the brutality of management means it is too soon to mark out his successor. But he said: "I have a great assistant in Carlos Queiroz. He will come into the reckoning. But we have owners and a chief executive who will choose the new man in three years' time."

Man, I really hope that this last three years that SAF plans to spend at United as a boss will be the greatest ones, as he said that current team is the best he had since he was appointed as manager.

I think Carlos Queiroz would be the best replacement. He has been with us since 2002. No one knows the team better than him, except Sir Alex Ferguson. Also he is a great man to work with.
SAF about Carlos Queiroz:
Quote:
"I spoke to Luis Figo and two or three other Portuguese players and they absolutely raved about Carlos. Hiring him is one of the best decisions I ever made."
Some time ago i read an article somewhere about Queiroz's desire to leave United and become a manager of a team. I just hope he'll be patient and after SAF retires, Carlos Queiroz will become the manager of the best Football team

How about you? Would you like to see the Portuguese as United manager or you would prefer another coach?
