Alex Ferguson goes bronze

On November 23, the opening ceremony of the monument to Manchester United head coach Alex Ferguson, who has led the Manchester team for 26 years, will take place at the Old Trafford Stadium. The 2.74m tall bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson will appear near the stand that already bears Ferguson's name. Previously it was called "Northern".

During his time with Manchester United, Alex Ferguson won the national championship 12 times and twice led the team to victory in the Champions League. In 1999, Alex Ferguson was awarded a knighthood for services to his country.

Old Trafford already has memorials to people who have made a special contribution to the club's history. In particular, a monument to coach Matt Busby, under whose leadership in 1968 Manchester United won the Champions Cup for the first time in its history, as well as team players George Beste, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton.

Valery Gazzaev did not accept his son’s resignation

The president of Vladikavkaz "Alania" Valery Gazzaev said that he refuses to accept the resignation of his son Vladimir Gazzaev from the post of head coach of the team. This was reported on the club's official website.

On Monday, after a defeat from Volga Nizhny Novgorod in the Russian Championship with a score of 0:2, Gazzaev Jr. announced that he intended to leave his post. “Yesterday, the head coach of Alania at the post-match press conference said that he would submit his resignation. I do not accept this statement. Today we have no other candidates for the post of head coach, and until they appear, Vladimir Gazzaev will continue to be work in this capacity,” said Valery Gazzaev, who took a leadership position at Alania shortly after resigning from the post of head coach of Dynamo Kyiv.

According to the president of Alania, in the near future he will have to hold consultations with potential candidates for the post of head coach of the team. “At the same time, I want to say that not only the coach, but also the players should bear responsibility for the result. Therefore, I do not exclude that serious changes await Alania in the near future,” said Valery Gazzaev.

The Vladikavkaz team have not won over the last nine rounds and, with ten points, are in 15th, penultimate place in the standings. Mikhail Tatarevsky
