He managed the Scotland National Team
Here is something that doesn’t get brought up very often – Fergie had a brief, not to mention unsuccessful, run as manager of the Scotland national team from 1985-1986.
Ferguson took the reins after previous manager Jock Stein unexpectedly died shortly after a game against Australia. With little time to prepare before the 1986 World Cup, it was always going to be an uphill battle.
The World Cup did not go well for Scotland, as they finished bottom of their group after picking up just a single point – Fergie resigned from his post after the tournament concluded.
