| Arsene Wenger admitted he admires the way Sir Alex Ferguson reinvented himself |
ARSENE WENGER has revealed the quality he admires most in Sir Alex Ferguson is the former Manchester United manager’s ability to “reinvent himself”.
The pair were long-time rivals during United’s title battles with Arsenal before Ferguson retired in 2013.
The Frenchman admitted he remains in contact with Ferguson, who won 38 trophies in his time at Old Trafford, and believes the Scotsman's ability to constantly adapt sets him apart from other managers.
“For me, at this level, Ferguson is an example,” the Arsenal manager told L’Equipe.
“For starters, he always knew how to reinvent himself, how to evolve. He did not stand still in success. It is a quality of his that I appreciate. He always knew how to challenge himself. Even if he did it instinctively.
“But he had other passions. He liked horses. Wine. He knew red wine better than I did. Recently, I met with him and I said to him: “Alex, do you not miss it?”. He responded to me “not at all”. I was at that moment disappointed and comforted. It gives me a reason to hope for myself.”
