Louis van Gaal has been one of the greatest managers in the world. His extremely public and well-remembered unsuccessful stint at Manchester United often leads soccer fans to forget the impact that the Dutchman has had on the modern game. However, we musn’t let his many accolades with Bayern, Barcelona, and Ajax, distract us from the fact that Louis is also pure box-office entertainment.
While there may be some dull games with him in-charge, as United fans will confirm, there will never be a dull moment with the man himself. Currently, he’s in charge of the Dutch national football team, attempting to take them to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Unfortunately, van Gaal has had a stroke of bad luck this international break as he suffered an injury after falling off his bike. The former Manchester United and FC Barcelona manager arrived at training in a golf buggy and monitored it all from his special transport.

It might be hilarious to see, but fans will hope that the 70-year-old manager will return to the best of his health as soon as possible.
The Netherlands and their prospects in the World Cup Qualifiers.
The Netherlands face Norway in the final matchday of the European World Cup Qualifiers. The Dutch are involved in a dogfight for the top spots in the table.
The Netherlands are in first place with 20 points from nine games. However, Turkey and Norway are tied for second place with 18 points each, and hence, their match against Norway becomes a must-win. Turkey is facing fourth-place Montenegro who have 12 points from nine games, but the small European country has taken points off Turkey before.
It is a crucial game, and for all intents and purposes, a must-win for the Dutch.
Louis van Gaal and his prestigious (and hilarious) managerial career.
The Dutchman has been managing football teams ever since 1986 and has come a long way from managing youth teams at Ajax. He has been the manager of FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich along with managing AZ Alkmaar and the Dutch national team.
The Netherlands sacked their former manager Frank de Boer after their subpar performance in the UEFA Euros 2021. The Dutch called up Louis van Gaal again to give him the reigns to this team for the third time. They have a great squad, and it will be interesting to see what he can do in the World Cup, if they get there.
