Van Gaal introduces his backroom staff

In less than two weeks, Louis van Gaal has made a huge impression as Manchester United boss. But as well as getting guidance from assistant manager Ryan Giggs, the Dutchman brought with him a backroom team essential to his way of working. Here, he introduces them...

 

Via Manchester United

Frans Hoek Goalkeeping coach I've been working with Frans Hoek for more than 20 years. He is my goalkeeping coach and, for me, the goalkeeping coach has to have the same philosophy. He worked with me at Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now in Manchester. I think it's good that he's my coach for the goalkeepers here.

Albert Stuivenberg Assistant coach I have worked with Albert now for only one year and that is peculiar for me. Normally with my coaches I always have a longstanding relationship with them, but he has so much talent this boy. I picked him up in the [Netherlands] Federation, he was my coach for the Under-21s and worked as my scout in the World Cup. He did a remarkable job and that's why I want to reward him to be my assistant here as a coach. He has made a fantastic impression on me but also on the players, that's much more important I think. But I have only known him for one year.

Marcel Bout Opposition scout Marcel will scout the future opponent. I have worked with him since 2006 when I was at AZ Alkmaar. It's only a small team – maybe you have heard of them? – but with that minor club I was also the champion of the Netherlands.

Jos van Dijk Training physiologist He writes my [training] programmes, he has also been working with me since AZ.

These are Said to Be the Best Goalkeepers in the World, Ranking from 1-25

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

Hawa Ndiyo Real Madrid Waliowafunga Man City Champions League Jana Usiku

Man City wakiwa wanaongo za kwa 2-1 dhidi ya Real Madrid huku zikiwa zimebaki dakika si zaidi  ya tatu walionekana kama ingekuwa ni timu ya tatu ya Uingereza kuifunga Madrid kwenye uwanja wa Bernabeu. Lakini vijana hao wa Mancini badala ya kuinza kampeni yao kwa ushindi walijikuta wakiachwa nyuma na kuwaangalia Madrid wakiibuka na ushindi baada ya Karim Benzema kusawazisha na kisha Cristiano Ronaldo kufunga goli la tatu na la ushindi, goli lililomfanya bosi wao Jose Mourinho kuslide uwanjani akishangilia goli hilo na Ronaldo. This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo kept coming inside him. "In the second-half, Vincent Kompany looked at what was happening and came across to that wing more. Ronaldo did not...
