Sir Alex Ferguson vs Arsene Wenger: Premier League Record
Both managers are regarded as the greatest ever to manage in the English top flight
Since taking over Arsenal in 1996, Wenger has coached 810 games, joining the long-tenured former Manchester United manager on that list. Nonetheless, from the time of his employment in November 1986 to the creation of the Premier League in 1992, Ferguson oversaw United for 225 First Division games.
By taking command of the match against West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Eve, the Frenchman will overtake the Scot. Ferguson, who turns 76 on December 31st, also faced West Brom in his 1,500th and last game as United manager, a dramatic 5-5 draw at The Hawthorns on May 19, 2013.
Due to their outstanding careers as managers of Manchester United and Arsenal, respectively, Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were elected into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
On Wednesday, the Premier League Hall of Fame honoured Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
Since the Premier League's start in 1992, people who have demonstrated outstanding achievement and made a significant contribution are recognised and honoured in the Hall of Fame.
The 73-year-old created history with Arsenal in 2003–04 when "The Invincibles" became the only group to win the championship while going undefeated the whole season—a mark that has yet to be broken. He received the season management award in 1998, 2002, and 2004.
David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel, and Paul Scholes are the six players that Ferguson has coached who have previously been honoured in the Premier League Hall of Fame.
