Louis van Gaal reveals the sad reason why he decided to retire
The Dutchman at 65 decided to abandon his position and spoke to De Telegraaf about his decision
Louis van Gaal, former coach of Barcelona, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and the Dutch team, retired for family reasons - the deaths of a son-in-law and a sister.
The Dutchman at 65 decided to abandon his position and spoke to De Telegraaf about his decision.
"So many things have happened in my family," he said, speaking of the recent deaths. He said his initial intention was to retire after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, "but later came the chance to go to England and this is a fantastic country to coach in, and now I have that on my CV," he said.
