Louis van Gaal teams coached
Van Gaal has coached lots of teams and had a great deal of experience. Hwas Ajax’s manager from 1991 until 1997 and had a very successful tenure. He then moved to Barcelona in 1997, taking over from Bobby Robson, helping the team win two La Liga titles (1997–98, 1998–99) and the Copa del Rey once.
Van then returned to the Netherlands to manage the Netherlands national team in preparation for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Van Gaal returned to Barcelona for the start of the 2002–03 season on a contract until June 2005, but results were inconsistent. The club won a record-equalling ten successive matches in the Champions League but struggled in La Liga.
In 2004, Van Gaal returned to Ajax as a technical director but resigned later that year due to an internal conflict with Ronald Koeman. In January 2005, it was announced that Van Gaal would replace Co Adriaanse as AZ manager on 1 July 2005. Under Van Gaal, AZ finished second in the Eredivisie in 2005–06 and third in 2006–07.
On 1 July 2009, Van Gaal took over as coach of Bayern Munich. On 7 March 2011, Bayern Munich declared that Van Gaal’s contract was to be canceled after the end of the 2010–11 season. However, he was instead sacked on 10 April 2011 after losing third place in the Bundesliga.
On 6 July 2012, Van Gaal was presented as the new Netherlands coach. Van Gaal ended his tenure as Netherlands manager on 12 July 2014 when the Dutch beat the hosts Brazil 3–0 in the third/fourth place play-off match with goals from Robin van Persie, Daley Blind, and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Van Gaal was confirmed to replace David Moyes as the new manager of Manchester United on 19 May 2014, becoming the club’s first manager from outside the British Isles. He signed a three-year contract coming into effect after the 2014 World Cup.
On 21 May 2016, Van Gaal won his only trophy with Manchester United, the FA Cup when his side defeated Crystal Palace 2–1 after extra time; Jesse Lingard’s winning goal made United match Arsenal’s then-record of 12 FA Cups. Two days later, Van Gaal and the Dutch members of his staff were sacked by the club
