AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Marco van Basten is a legend, but Louis van Gaal is 'a dictator without any sense of humour'

So van Gaal is supposed to be the forerunner for the vacant managerial position at Chelsea.

He'd be well advised to contain himself and not pull out his old balls trick
Drogba apparently has a thing for Dutch balls...

van Gaal to Chelsea. I can just see Torres going ...

Haha how the flying duck are van Gaal and Abramovich going to get along should this happen?

My thoughts exactly

I think he will be great for them...he has his methods that will work. Good thing in England is that he will probably become Manager and not only a coach...so he will be able to buy the players he wants and he will have money for it:)

Imagine Terry and others after Van Gaal make clear of his strict rules about no nightlife etc...

Are you kidding???
"Why buying players when we have a reserve team and an u19 team?" says LvG!

Van Gaal: "Barcelona is my favorite for the Champions League. They will win."

Well I hope he takes charge of any top team
I adore his coaching style and I will love seeing him coach again

Yes... I hope so too...
Even though I adore his brilliant coaching mind, I seriously doubt he can stay at a top club because he neglects the importance of defense and his man management skills are weak... And I would mind any big club other than Bayern to fail....

With his philosophy, he can work best at a middle-club... where the title is not a necessity.... so I would love to see him in a middle-class German team.....

I think the exit compensation clause is the most important part of this offer to any manager thinking about taking the helm over at Chelsea. Who wants to deal with that owner, a mystifying Torres, a ever vintaging Drogba and players that pretty much have been there for longer than football exits?

The spoilt players at Chelsea, like Lampard, Cole, Drogba, Malouda etc would not take to Van Gaal at all. He's not an amiable coach like Ancellotti and to an extent Mourinho, he'd just come in and rock the boat with team and owner!
