Premier League icon Duncan Ferguson is working for free at cash-strapped club Inverness Caledonian Thistle in an incredible gesture to help save them.
Inverness are in huge financial trouble and have slipped down to Scottish League One with Everton legend Ferguson currently in charge as the team’s manager.
Former striker Ferguson played a total of 263 games for the Toffees – where he won the 1995 FA Cup and produced 69 goals and 11 assists – while he also enjoyed a two-year spell at Newcastle United.
The 52-year-old twice worked as Everton’s interim manager in 2019 and 2022 before he was handed his first full-time managerial role at Forest Green Rovers.
Ferguson managed Forest Green from January to July last year and moved north of the border to take charge of Inverness in September 2023.
Inverness won the Scottish Cup and remarkably finished third in the Scottish Premiership in 2015 – but less than 10 years later – they are facing the threat of administration in the third-tier.
With Inverness needing to raise £200,000 this month to avoid the threat of relegation, Ferguson has decided to work totally for free to help the club out.
