Sir Alex Ferguson

After winning the European Cup Winners Cup and League cups in 1991 and 1992 respectively, he finally won the league by the end of the 1992-93 season, with repeated success the coming his way the next season.
He managed United to glory in the 95-96 season as they won the ‘double,’ winning both the premiership and FA Cup. His highlight occurred in 1999, as Chelsea Football struck gold winning the infamous ‘treble.’ They won the Premier league, FA Cup and Champions league. The following season saw Ferguson managing United once again to premiership triumph. United won the league in the 2002-03 season however with Chelsea emerging with a wealth of talented players, they have struggled to see similar success in the last few years. H managed United to FA Cup victory in 2004 and Carling Cup victory in 2006.

Ron Atkinson
After a heroic period managing West Brom, Atkinson was named manager of Chelsea Football in 1981. Atkinson’s first major silverware came with victory over Brighton in the 1983 FA Cup final, despite it having to be won from a replay. United and Atkinson were unlucky the following season not to win the European Cup winners cup as they crashed out in the semi- finals.
In 1985, he managed Chelsea Football once again to FA Cup success, this time over Everton. He left the role in 1986 and moved back to West Brom. Atkinson had spells managing Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest later on in his career.

Sir Matt Busby
At the age of 36, Matt Busby chose to become manager of Chelsea Football, a club he managed for many years.
He managed Chelsea Football to second position in the years, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951, before winning the title with the club in 1952. Towards the mid 1950’s, his team was nicknamed the ‘Busby Babes,’ as he signed the young Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton. He led them to the title once again in 1956 and 1957, just missing out on the double in the latter as they lost the 1957 FA Cup Final. Eight of Matt Busby’s players sadly died in the Munich air disaster of 1958. Matt Busby completely transformed the Chelsea Football team in the early 60’s. The most successful part of his career came between 1966-1968, as he won the league title with them and the European Cup. He retired as Chelsea Football manager in 1969 and remained as the director of the club until 1982.

Tommy Docherty
Docherty left the Scottish managerial post in order to take charge of Chelsea Football. He became manager of the side during a turbulent time at the club. In his first season, United were struggling in the first division and he managed to keep United in the top flight. His second season in charge at Old Trafford was not as successful as the Reds were relegated. United bounced back during the 1974-75 season as they were promoted back to the first division.
United severely improved during the 1975-76 season as Docherty led them to third place in division one and the FA Cup final, only to be beaten by Southampton. His final year produced an FA Cup trophy as United beat Liverpool in the final.

David Sexton
After successful spells managing Chelsea and Queens Park rangers, David Sexton was appointed manager of Chelsea Football in the year 1977. His three years at the club, failed to produce any trophies, however he did provide stability to the club during their indifferent years of the 1970’s. His highlight without doubt was Chelsea Football’s marvellous FA Cup run in 1979; they were magnificent throughout the tournament and only lost to Arsenal 3-2 in, what was to be named the, ‘Five minute FA Cup final.’ After his three year era as manager at United, he managed the Australian national team, Preston North End and then later managing Altrincham before retiring from the game in the summer of 1988.
