Talk:Louis van Gaal

message: Is it correct that van Gaal was the youngest winning manager of the CL before Jose Mourinho?
Van Gaal was 43 years old in 1995, when AFC Ajax defeated AC Milan, and Carlo Ancelotti was 43 years old in 2003, when Milan defeated Juventus.
Van Gaal was the youngest manager to win the CL (except Mourinho), because Ancelotti was more than two month older, when he won the title with Milan.--141.201.155.4 (talk) 21:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Before his appointment at United, this article used the picture of him coaching the Dutch in the infobox. I put another in the Bayern section, which is now in the infobox, with the Dutch picture shrunk almost beyond recognition into the section on him managing them, which also pushes the quote box in the United section around. Can the picture of him coaching the Dutch return to the infobox until the section is long enough or a photo is taken of him at United? tAD (talk) 18:22, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures 

message: Here's a direct quote from van Gaal which shows it was he who signed them: "Shaw and Herrera were already on the list. I gave my approval because I like them". So you can probably stop saying he didn't sign them. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 15:25, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: He said  "Shaw and Herrera were already on the list and I gave my approval because I like them but first I want to see the player perform my philosophy". The crux of it was that this was before he became United manager, so he can't possibly be credited with signing them tAD (talk) 20:56, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Entirely subjective and given that United dominated the ball, questionable and unnecessary contribution. In fact, the whole summary of his United career feels like it was written by a City fan. No mention of the improved defence and maintain the Moyes stat even though it's now irrelevant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.221.73.18 (talk) 08:00, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "poor performance" against Stoke 

message: "His transfers, particularly the signings of goalkeeper Robert Enke, midfielder Gaizka Mendieta and playmaker Juan Román Riquelme, all disappointed."
They were not his transfers, they were club transfers, and Riquelme in particular a political signing to appease the fans after Rivaldo's departure. In fact it is highly documented that he did not want Riquelme and told him so upon his arrival. I suspect the same with Mendieta, as van Gaal left the club sticking to his principle of playing the youngsters Xavi and Iniesta and benching the aforementioned glamour signings. They were not HIS transfers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.183.55 (talk) 07:12, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Van Gaal is one of the most influential coaches in history, especially interesting from a tactical pov as he won the European Cup with Ajax playing a system he invented.
He's spawned a raft of coaches who consider him their mentor. Nothing really acknowledging this in the article. Like Bielsa, his influence is as notable as anything.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.246.65 (talk) 13:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
