MOURINHO'S PART-TIME

Last updated : 22 April 2005 By Editor
Sir Alex has refuted claims that he is no longer the best manager in Britain by pointing out just how big a job he has. In an interview with The Sun he said:

"It is said that Mourinho is the number one but at 63 I'm not jealous of my competitors and what they win," Ferguson told The Sun.

"I have been a manager for a long, long time and won many trophies. Anyway, my job is completely different and carries a heavier load than Mourinho's.

"Mourinho has a completely different culture at Chelsea than I do in charge at Manchester United. I'm a manager, not merely a coach.

"I make decisions about signings. I have the responsibility for the first team - plus the reserves and the United academy."
