Van Gaal: ‘Advised KNVB after departure from United, but ran out’

Louis van Gaal does not completely rule out a return to football, but the KNVB no longer has to call him for advice or mediation. The former national team coach is again critical of the handling in Zeist of the competitions in the corona crisis.

“I have already done that for three years, after my farewell at Manchester United,” said 68-year-old Van Gaal NOS about advising the KNVB. “I have done knowledge transfer with many KNVB figures, who even came to my house in Portugal. You depend on what they take from it. I stopped because it was going to be a mess, I was only busy with knowledge transfer. has not satisfied me. “

Van Gaal states that it is unlikely that he will return to football. “That chance is never zero, but it’s a small chance, five percent. You can never predict what will happen, even in my private situation,” he says. “I am only going into a position that I have not yet done and that is challenging and attractive to me. What? I will not say that. The chance is small and otherwise I will have offers again tomorrow. It is actually over, especially as long as Truus and I go through life together. “

Van Gaal previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the approach of the KNVB in the corona crisis. Especially the cancellation of the cup final between Feyenoord and FC Utrecht bothers him. “That game could have been played at the beginning of next season instead of the Supercup, because it doesn’t mean anything. The other European competitions will also start later, so it would have been on time.”

“That is just logical thinking, and it is not done then,” says Van Gaal. “How can you easily remember a title like a club like Feyenoord or Utrecht? Sport is winning and losing, not indicating who can go on.”
