Manchester United's manager Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates a team win in April.
The Times's soccer blog has the world's game covered from all angles.
LONDON — Alex Ferguson, the longtime manager of the Manchester United soccer team, will retire at the end of the season, ending a longstanding and highly successful run at the Premier League team, the team announced Wednesday.
Ferguson has managed Manchester United for 27 years, and he will leave after his club won the Premier League this season, dethroning its cross-city rival, Manchester City.
The Premier League champions confirmed on Wednesday that Ferguson, 71, would step aside at the end of the season. The club was knocked out of the Champions League tournament earlier this season.
''The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time,'' Ferguson said on United's Web site.
After Ferguson took over the team in 1986, it went on to win 13 English League titles and five Football Association Cups.
Rob Hughes reported from London and Gerry MUllany reported from Hong Kong.
