Real Madrid coach Ancelotti tribute to Man Utd legend Ferguson

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has paid tribute to Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson retired from the game at the end of last season.

Ancelotti said: "He has been very important because he has always showed great competence in his career, great ability, and he's managed to maintain his modesty. I think that in terms of the role of manager in the world, he's managed to add value and define the role for all the managers in the world thanks to his serious focus, his competence, and his humanity."
