Sir Alex Ferguson is clear about what he wants in his retirement.  He sounds like a man who understands what is really important about taking this decision at this time.  He sounds at peace with his life as a result.  In his statement he says:

“The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time. It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so…I am delighted to take on the roles of both director and ambassador for the club. With these activities, along with my many other interests, I am looking forward to the future”.

I like that he is looking forward to the next chapter of his life.  Good luck to him.
