| Van Gaal |
Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal will
take over as the new manager of Manchester United after the World Cup, the club
announced Monday.
Van Gaal, who has signed a
three-year contract, will have United great Ryan Giggs as his assistant.
Van Gaal, 62, has signed a three-year
contract to succeed David Moyes who was sacked in April after a disastrous run
of results.
His contract with the Dutch national
side means van Gaal will not be able to join up with United until after the
World Cup in Brazil, which would not be until mid-July if the Netherlands reach
the latter stages of the tournament.
Van Gaal, a disciplinarian who has
won domestic titles and cups with Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich as well as
the Champions League, will become the first manager from outside the British
Isles to take charge of United.
He quickly emerged as the favourite
to take over at Old Trafford after Moyes was dismissed.
Giggs, United’s record-appearance
holder and a player-coach under Moyes, was placed in caretaker charge of the
team after the Scot left Old Trafford.
Moyes was the handpicked successor
of former United manager Alex Ferguson after his compatriot retired as British
football’s most successful boss at the end of last season.
But the former Everton manager
struggled to adjust to life at Old Trafford and was dismissed just months into
a six-year contract after United failed to qualify for next season’s Champions
League.
