Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger are the only two managers to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Ferguson was the dominant managerial figure in English football over a period that stretched two decades. He won 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United and led the Old Trafford club to Champions League success on two occasions, including a historic treble in 1999.

Wenger, meanwhile, was Ferguson’s main rival in the early years of the 2000s, when Arsenal were at their peak. He enjoyed an intense rivalry with the Scot and is widely credited for elevating the Gunners to their current position.

Man Utd have nine members in the Premier League Hall of Fame, which is more than any other club. Arsenal are second with eight members, while Chelsea and Manchester City are joint-third with five each.
