After weeks of speculation, the anticipated dismissal of David Moyes just three days before the conclusion of the Premier League season has been confirmed. Louis Van Gaal is now officially announced as the next manager of Manchester United, succeeding Moyes.
Van Gaal, aged 62, brings a wealth of experience from coaching stints in the Netherlands and Germany, and he is currently leading the Dutch national team. His appointment comes after the conclusion of the 2014 World Cup, and he has inked a three-year deal with the Red Devils.
At Old Trafford, Van Gaal will be supported by Ryan Giggs, who assumed interim managerial duties following Moyes’ departure earlier in the season. Additionally, Frans Hoek and Marcel Bout will be part of his coaching staff.
Van Gaal’s managerial track record boasts an impressive tally of 19 club-level trophies, trailing only Mourinho by one and significantly surpassing David Moyes by 18. The announcement marks a new chapter for Manchester United under the leadership of Louis Van Gaal.
