Chelsea secure Porto defender Ronaldo targets 50 goal haul 'Get ready for the fight'

England - Alex Ferguson was selected as England's manager of the year on Monday night by his coaching colleagues 24 hours after claiming his 10th Premier League title with Manchester United.

The 66-year-old Ferguson, who has managed United for the past 22 seasons, last received the honour by the League Managers' Association in 1999 when he guided the Reds to the treble of the Premier League, European Champions League and English FA Cup.

The managers of the 92 clubs in English soccer's four professional leagues form the LMA's membership.

"It is a tremendous honour that my fellow managers and LMA members should deem me worthy of this award," said Ferguson, who received the award from England manager and LMA president Fabio Capello. "I am very proud to receive it."

Ferguson can claim a second European Champions League triumph when the Red Devils face Chelsea on May 21 in Moscow.
