10 Things Man Utd Fans Need To Know About Louis Van Gaal
5. He's Also Won League Titles In 3 Different Countries
Wherever Louis van Gaal has been, he has won trophies, winning league titles in three different countries. The Dutchman won the Eredivisie three times with Ajax and took them to Champions League glory; La Liga and the UEFA Super Cup with Barcelona; the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and another Eredivisie title with AZ Alkmaar, meaning he has been a success in Holland, Spain and Germany. That sort of track record shows he has the adaptability necessary to acclimatize to the English game and be a hit on these shores as well, which bodes well, as does the fact he is fluent in four languages, which is useful in this multilingual era of football. Put another way, van Gaal has been there and done that, and has brought success to all of his employers to date.
