The Manchester United manager, Alex Ferguson, believes that the current Real Madrid coach José Mourinho can manage "anywhere", and did not rule out the possibility of him taking over the Old Trafford dugout in the future.
"He can manage anywhere, absolutely. I'm not going to put any forecasts on what is going to happen at this club [Manchester United]. I won't last forever, but José can manage anywhere, there is no question about that", assured the 70-year-old Scotsman in statements to Britain's 'ITV'.
Ferguson, who saw a statue erected in his honour after 26 seasons at the helm of the Red Devils, said that the former Chelsea coach "has got a marvellous, strong personality".
"I would never think a guy who hasn't played a game could be a top coach but then you've got to look at his personality... and that bridges that gap", said Ferguson, who has won 37 titles with Manchester United.
"I remember his first press conference [at Chelsea] and I thought: 'Christ, he's a cocky bastard, him'. He was telling the players: 'Look, I'm the special one, we don't lose games", Fergie recalled.
Rumours of Ferguson's retirement have been circulating in the press for years, although the Scot remains firmly in charge of his team, which is currently top of the Premier League.
