Louis van Gaal has been named as Manchester United manager, with Ryan
Giggs as his assistant.
Van Gaal, 62, has signed a three-year contract to succeed David Moyes.
The Dutchman, who has won titles with Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and
AZ Alkmaar, will take charge at Old Trafford after leading the Netherlands at
this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Even though everybody knew he was going to be appointed
last week at least now we can say it’s official.
Although waiting for the announcement was a bit
tedious, what I have found interesting is some of the stories about Van Gaal
and his style, in particular the fact that he’s strict.
There have been several stories about how strict he
is and how the players will react to that, because it’s not like United
have ever been coached by a disciplinarian, some might say tyrant, at
any point in the last 30 years!
Van Gaal has won a league title at every club he’s
managed and has reached three Champions League finals and all people seem to be
focused on is oh he’s a bit strict, he maybe but look at his CV his approach clearly
works and he is exactly what United need.
I also find this appointment sad in a way because I was rather
enjoying the sitcom Moyes had managed to turn United into this season, unfortunately
it’s been cancelled and not been renewed for another year but it was fun while
it lasted.
