West Ham's Allardyce: We will never see another Ferguson

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce says there will never be another Sir Alex Ferguson.

The great Manchester United manager has announced his retirement as manager, with his 26-year reign at Old Trafford to finish at the end of the season, and his exploits will never be repeated according to Allardyce.

"What a fantastic career he's had for Manchester United and for Aberdeen, and for places like that," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.

"What an outstanding job he's done. It's unlikely we'll see anybody of the likes of Alex Ferguson as a football manager lasting so long ever again.

"He took on the mantle where Sir Matt Busby left off and probably achieved even more than that.

"It is just an outstanding achievement for him and everybody at Manchester United, and of course his family."
