Fergie wants Euro legacy
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that he will 'definitely' quit Manchester United if they win two more UEFA Champions League crowns.[LNB] Ferguson has already intimated that 2010 could be the year he opts to step down from the Old Trafford hot-seat.[LNB]Now Ferguson has confirmed that indeed, if United were to win three-in-a-row - that would be the signal for him to quit.[LNB]Ferguson has won 18 domestic trophies during his 23 years at United, but in that time he has landed just three European prizes - two European Cups and one Uefa Cup Winners' Cup.[LNB]And Ferguson admits he wants that statistic to improve.[LNB]"If there was one challenge I'd love the club to win more European trophies than they have done and I think I've made this point a few times over the years. I don't think we've won the number we should have won," he told CNN.[LNB]"I am 67 now. At the moment I am still healthy and enjoying my job. If that was different I would quit immediately.[LNB]"But winning a specific trophy does not come into it.[LNB]"There have been years when we've been unlucky and years we've been disappointed, and there've been years when we've thrown games away, and that sort of gives a kaleidoscope of what football's like.[LNB]"I would love this club to win more European trophies. We definitely should[LNB]have at least a couple more.[LNB]"But just by being in so many semi-finals and quarter-finals, it shows you how[LNB]hard it is to win.[LNB]"If we could win a couple more European trophies I then would definitely quit."[LNB]SuccessorSpeaking of the man who could replace him, with the likes of David Moyes, Jose Mourinho and Martin O'Neill strongly linked - he would only suggest that it would need to be someone with experience.[LNB]"I am glad it is not my decision," he continued.[LNB]"But whoever it is, it needs to be someone with experience.[LNB]"Manchester United is a massive club. The club I joined in 1986 is nothing like the one it is today."[LNB]He reiterated his liking for Inter Milan chief Mourinho, saying: "I like Jose Mourinho.[LNB]"He is a good guy and someone I get on very well with.[LNB]"But people forget how quickly the game changes. The job of a football manager is a pretty fragile one.[LNB]"You can be on the very top of the world and then after two defeats you are the worst team ever.[LNB]"Hopefully I will be here for another two or three years. Who knows what will have happened in that time.[LNB]"Thinking about Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger or whoever is going to be impossible."[LNB]
