\"Sir
Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger enjoyed one of the greatest rivalries in Premier League history
\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger have been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, 81, is the most successful manager in Premier League history with a record 13 titles.<\/p>\n

Wenger won three league titles during his 22-year spell in charge of the Gunners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Frenchman led Arsenal\u2019s \u201cInvincibles\u201d to an unbeaten league-winning season in 2003-04.<\/p>\n

Ferguson and Wenger are the first two managers to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

The Hall of Fame launched in 2021 with David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Alan Shearer the inaugural inductees.<\/p>\n

Last year, Sergio Aguero, Didier Drogba, Vincent Kompany, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Patrick Vieira and Ian Wright were added.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, who managed Manchester United from 1986 until 2013, won three league titles in a row on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour when you receive recognition like this,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, it\u2019s not just about me as a person.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about the job at Manchester United and the bond we had over many years, so I\u2019m also proud for the club, the staff and my players.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job was to send the fans home happy. United\u2019s history and my own expectations were the things that drove me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wenger, 73, arrived as one of the Premier League\u2019s first foreign managers in 1996 and won the league in his first full season at Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to be known as someone who loved Arsenal, who respected the values of the club and left it in a position where it can grow and become even bigger,\u201d Wenger said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo share this with Sir Alex is a great honour for me. It\u2019s like two boxers, you fight like mad and go the distance together.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, you have respect and it will be a great opportunity to meet with him, share a good bottle of wine and memories of our old battles.\u201d<\/p>\n
