Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has returned to management this weekend in a ridiculous 12-goal thriller.
Whilst at Old Trafford, Ferguson’s side registered some impressive victories, with a 9-0 win over Ipswich in the 1994/95 Premier League being his biggest win.
Today, the Scot travelled to Italy, taking the helm of one of the sides in Giuseppe Rossi’s farewell match.
Taking place in Florence, key figures from Rossi’s 19-year career reunited with the Italian to take part after his retirement in 2023.
Ferguson was invited to manage one of the sides as Rossi’s first coach when he signed for Manchester United in 2004 at the age of 17.
Speaking about his former coach managing in the game, Rossi commented: “I only did three years with him and played little, but he immediately said yes and this shows what kind of person he is. I did little at United but he treats me like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 1000 goals.”
Also returning for the game were legends like Luca Toni, Mario Gomez and former United teammate Nemanja Vidic.
However, Vidic was starting against his former teammate, with Rossi switching sides at half-time after scoring his only goal of the game.
Ultimately, the Pepito team won 7-5, marking an incredible game to send off Rossi from his playing days.
The farewell match was no doubt an exciting occasion for both Rossi and Ferguson as they were reunited after 18 years.
