Sir Alex Ferguson is back! Man Utd legend to make coaching return this weekend as part of Giuseppe Rossi's farewell in Florence

Premier League

Newcastle

Manchester United

<p>Ferguson retired from football management in 2013, bringing an end to his 39-year coaching career with a total of 50 trophies. The Scot is now set to return to the touchline this weekend in Florence for Rossi's farewell match.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Per Rossi, Ferguson will be taking the role of coach once again. The role will be for one of the teams in the former Manchester United striker's testimonial farewell at Stadio Artemio Franchi, the home of former club Fiorentina. Rossi spent three years at Old Trafford early in his career before moving to Villarreal, while he retired in 2023 after playing for a number of Serie A clubs.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the media, Rossi said: "Ferguson will be there as a coach. He was my first coach, I signed when I was 17.</p><p>"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."</p>

WHAT ROSSI SAID

<p>Rossi's farewell will be played on March 22. Ferguson will be one of several legendary names present, with Luca Toni, Antonio Cassano, Sebastien Frey and Gabriel Batistuta also in line to play some role.</p>
