Van Gaal Appointed
19 May 2014
Confirming the worst-kept secret in football:
Louis van Gaal has been appointed manager of Manchester United on a three-year deal and vowed to “make history” at the club. The Holland coach will officially start work at Old Trafford in July after his commitments at the World Cup are over.
Interesting that it’s a three-year deal, especially when you consider his predecessor was handed a six-year deal and United have always valued long-term stability. Either Giggs will step up in 2018 or Guardiola will be itching to get back into football after another year-long sabbatical…
