Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he has no
intention of being in management at 70.
The Manchester United boss will celebrate his 67th birthday on
New Year's Eve, suggesting his exit from Old Trafford is drawing
ever closer.
He revealed in the summer that he does not envisage working past
2010, with Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho already touted as a
possible replacement.
Now, in a tribute to legendary manger Bobby Robson, who was
sacked at Newcastle at the age of 71, Ferguson has one again
reiterated his desire to step into retirement in the near
future.
"I won't be doing a Bobby Robson and be a manager when I am 70,"
he told the Mail on Sunday.
"It is just knowing when to quit.
"Football is like a drug which is difficult to give up.
"My appetite and enthusiasm are as strong as ever. I love
watching Manchester United. We have some terrific players who are
only going to get better."
