England’s Longest-Serving Soccer Manager Retires After 50 Years
Jimmy Davies, manager of Liverpool County Premier League side, Waterloo Dock, will step down after 50 years in the position. As manager of the amateur team, he even washed the team’s uniforms. He won’t sit back, though, saying he’ll return to watch his team and “haunt them like a spectre from the touchline.”
Sir Alex Ferguson, who recently retired after almost 27 years as manager of Manchester United, has nothing on him (in terms of longevity, at any rate).
