Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are two of the most renowned managers in Premier League history. These men have left their mark on football, not only in England but across the world. Fans of Manchester United and Arsenal alike have praised their achievements, calling them legendary.

This week the Premier League announced that both would enter the English Soccer Hall of Fame, thus being the first two coaches to be immortalized for their contribution to the development and success of the world’s best league.

Reviewing the career of these men, there is no doubt that they are true titans of soccer.

Ferguson led Manchester United to 13 Premier League titles during his tenure as manager. This feat has yet to be surpassed by any other team. His dedication to the team was unparalleled, and he became known for his fiery personality on the sidelines.

“I am delighted to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It is a true honor when you receive recognition like this. This award is not just about me, but about my work at Manchester United and the relationship we had for so many years, so I’m also proud of the club, the coaching staff, and my players,” Ferguson explained after his induction into the Hall of Fame.

Meanwhile, during his time at the club, Wenger transformed Arsenal into one of the most feared teams in Europe. He led them to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup wins over a period of 22 years. One of Wenger’s greatest achievements came in the 2003-04 season when they managed to win the league undefeated, something no other team has achieved to date.

“Sharing this with Sir Alex is a great honor for me. It’s like two boxers; you fight like crazy and go to the limit, but in the end, there is respect. It will be very nice to be able to see him again, share a bottle of wine and remember our battles,” Wenger said.
