Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced that remaining in football will ensure a long and happy life. Ferguson is basking in the glory of his club achieving a record 19th title.
"I have no plans to retire, I must say that and (my wife) Cathy is delighted. She would have thrown me out, " the 69 year old told MUTV at the club's annual awards ceremony.
"The salient point is that whilst my health is good, carry on. You hear many stories of people who come off the treadmill and their system breaks down. I don't want that happening to me."
Ferguson takes as much pleasure from winning the Premier League title this season as he did for the first time 18 years ago.
He said: "It is no easier now than it was in 1993. It is a great achievement. Everyone has shared in it. I enjoyed it as much as my first title. It becomes more of a challenge the longer you are at the club.
"If we are not scoring 10 goals every game, we have our critics. The expectation is high. But it is high from us too, and the fans. They want to see their best.
"Yes, you could criticise a lot of our away performances. They have been disappointing. But our home form has been fantastic. We have scored more goals than anyone else. It is hard to criticise that kind of form."
