The league have enjoyed the best quotes from great Managers who have graced the touchlines across the various stadiums in England ranging from Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, and the press favorite Jose Mourinho who never ceases to provide the media with something to talk about.
After last season some what sort of similar quotes of "What else can we do to win" coming from the then Old trafford manager David Moyes, the media have something to smile about coming to the red side of Manchester this season where the new man in charge is one who never lacks words to express his feelings.
Louis van Gaal is one of the most self-absorbed men in the world of football. He is utterly convinced that he knows more, sees more and can influence more than pretty much everyone else. And if people forget to properly praise him for his achievements, he’ll just praise himself. Because he deserves it.
Whether you call him Confident,honest or arrogant and an egotist the Dutch boss will certainly shake things up at Old Trafford regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Here are some of his typifying quotes.
Van Gaal reacts to a BBC journalist asking him what he knew about United after he was announced as the new Boss at Old Trafford.
"That's a stupid question."
After being named as Ajax manager in 1991 Louis van Gaal shows off his modest side
"Congratulations on signing the best coach in the world."
When asked about the performance of Ashley Young and some other United players who didnt perform well under David Moyes.
"You cannot compare players under the guidance of Moyes with those same players under the guidance of Louis Vaan Gaal"
When reminded that Manchester United would not be playing in Europe this season
"Louis Vaan Gaal usually needs 10 weeks of preparation and i am lucky Manchester United are not playing in a European competition to do this."
After leading Bayern to the Bundesliga title in 2010 Van Gaal makes an impassioned speech to the fans
"Who has the best defence? FC Bayern! Who has the best attack? FC Bayern! And that’s why we are champions. And not just in Munich, but lso in Gelsenkirchen. And also in Bremen and in Hamburg too. We are the best of Germany. And possibly soon in Europe!
The former Bayern manager backed Barça' decision to install Guardiola as Bayern manager.
"[Pep] Guardiola follows the Van Gaal philosophy. So I’m not surprised Bayern have hired Guardiola. Bayern always hire the best managers."
In 1997 after becoming coach of Barcelona at his first press conference
I have achieved more with Ajax in six years than Barcelona has in one hundred years.
After quitting from Barcelona as manager Louis Van Gaal gave his honest opinion of the club saying
"Friends of the press, I’m leaving. Congratulations"
"When I think I've made an error, it can cause me a sleepless night. But that only happens rarely."
"I’m not the kind of coach who just goes out and buys players for the sake of it. I’m a coach who wants to – and can – improve players.
many have different opinion of the new United manager with former Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic saying "Van Gaal is a dictator, with no sense of humour" and former Brazil international Giovanni saying "Van Gaal is the Hitler of the Brazilian players, is arrogant, proud and has a problem. He has no idea of football. His type is sick, he's crazy."
To all those who make various comments about Louis Van Gaal the man himself has one more word for you; "I am the way I am and I've not got an easy-going manner. But I'm not going to change my personality just because some people want me to."
