The Netherlands head coach has set his sights on reaching at least the semi-final of the upcoming World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858, while admiring KNVB for showing confidence in his abilities.
Netherlands head coach, Louis van Gaal, has revealed that his prime objective is to guide his side to at least the semi-finals of 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 61-year-old tactician was appointed as the Oranje coach following the dismissal of Bert van Marwijk after their abysmal Euro 2012 campaign. The Dutchman has been in the coaching profession since 1991 when he took over the managerial
hot seat at Ajax Amsterdam.
Since then, the veteran has coached the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar and Bayern Munich.
Although, the former Barca boss failed to impress during his first spell as the Flying Dutchmen’s manager, he has expressed confidence about leading his national side to success during his second spell.
“We aim to reach the final four of the upcoming World Cup, but it will be a very difficult http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. My assignment includes rejuvenating this squad, but then there has to be quality and positive results as well”, Van Gaal was quoted
as saying to the media.
The Dutch mentor went on to thank the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Dutch Football Association (KNVB) for giving him the chance to lead the Oranje.
“It's an honour and challenge that the Dutch federation (KNVB) has asked me for a second term, after all this is the job I have been waiting for”, Van Gaal added.
Rumours were rife that the vastly experienced manager would be taking up http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753’ managerial role.
“I spoke with Liverpool because it is a great club and I never worked before in the Premier League”, he concluded.
The Dutch trainer would be keen to make amends to his previous stint with the Oranje, when he failed to lead his side to compete in 2002 World Cup, the only time Flying Dutchmen missed out qualification for a major competition.
