The guy also got Ron Vlaar to be the best centre back of the tournament at 2014. Give him some credit.
Louis Van Gaal appointed Dutch manager for the third time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think it's a good appointment, in his home country where he speaks the same language as all the players, I think he will build a good young team.
Probably the best choice that's available right now. Which is sad.
I would've liked Peter Bosz with his kamikaze football. We never win anything anyway, so might as well play to win 5-3 instead of 1-0.
Make Holland horny again.
We’re to harsh on this guy, I really like his coaching style but the thing was that we really was going through a rebuild during his time here. Coming in after Moyes was not easy. This guy at least seemed to have a plan for the future. Wish him all the best.
Yeah same here but unfortunately he's unavailable
Same here and Louie will be without players like Robben this time... I guess they've appointed him to find new spine for this team.
I love van Gaal
Glad to see him back. He might try to convince van de Beek to go elsewhere in search of first team football though.
Dont know why Giggs' look there makes me very uncomfortable.
Love it, he's a brilliant character.
You, fat man
Very nice, love Aloysius
Love him! Really hope he does well. Five years away from football is a long time though…
His best chance is 0-0 vs Southgates defensive England and then win on pens in the most boring game ever.
Aloysius! We GO for it!
He and Koeman are our only decent managers and for some reason we don't want to appoint a foreigner. It's a sad state of affairs but at least we get some comedy moments with Louis.
At this point I'm really not sure whether he's doing it to spite Trude's wishes every single time, or whether she's pushing him to return to work every single time since he's such an unbearable character at home.
Low is available
Maybe he can rotate with Huub Stevens, he seems to have the same domestic situation.
From what he's said in interviews and as a pundit, I think he prefers 5-3-2 nowadays.
It's my preference too with Dumfries and no class wingers. Also, benching de Vrij should be a crime.
I'd have went for Conte, but the Dutch are too patriotic to even consider a foreign manager.
Well to be fair he ended his club career with an FA cup trophy. Ancient trophy for an ancient man!
Glad he's back in busines, and I hope he makes the Dutch competitive again.
Beenhacker will be dusting the cobwebs off getting ready for his next crack at the job, Guus Hiddink waiting impatiently behind him.
I swear him and Dick Advocaat just keep rotating the job between them, and have done for the last 20 years.
He can turn in to Mancini and win the whole thing next year. Who knows.
With this Garbage Holland has got ?
No Chance !
How will he work with Depay? It clearly failed for us, but Depay has turned into a great player after the poor season in PL for us.
He has got a whole year to find talented young players plus De ligt, De Jong, VVD and Depay.
He’s going to use this 18 months to lay the foundations to that all conquering Dutch side of 2040-2044
He doesn't know how to stay retired. Should be fun to watch anyway
I hope he does well, always had a lot of respect for the man. Didn’t work out here but he certainly tried, and in general he was a man that wore his heart on his sleeve and is a good coach. Just became outdated. Once upon a time he was a genius. Was always sad for how it ended with him here, and I’d rather have kept him than appoint that total shit bag Mourinho.
Always striked me as an arrogant prick and probably is, but he was actually a lot funnier and likeable than I thought he would be. His football was some of the worst I have ever seen at United, but ironicly a few of the games was actually some of the best post Fergie with Juanfield and the Arsenal win with the U18-team….. And he actually won a trophy that we hadn’t won for years. Looking forward to having him back in the game
Tbh he has far better on the eye pragmatic tactics than England/France/Portugal. Also definitely think it's more suited to international football, and especially suits their current squad.
Remember he saying, he was forced to take 532 but fell in love with it. Took the same to United as well.
Read somewhere that he prefers 433.
No better names in Netherlands right now or younger?
He strikes me as one of those who doesn't know who to be retired and wants to work till the end of his life. Saying that he might do good in international football.
As for United we played some of the worst football ever under him but I have fond memories of him still, the crazy bastard.

There aren't too many good Dutch coaches under 70 around right now. Koeman, Ten Hag and Bosz have the highest profile, but Koeman just left for Barcelona, Ten Hag just renewed with Ajax and Bosz just joined Lyon. I am anyway not sure whether Ten Hag and Boss would be good national coaches with their style. There are plenty of coaches in the next tier (like Van Bronckhorst, Cocu, Van Bommel, and so on), but each one would be as much a risk as De Boer was, and that's probably not what the Dutch FA wants right now. So there.
Loved him to bits here. Football not so much. I'll be cheering for holland in WC.
