The Dutchman had previously achieved Champions League, UEFA Cup and Eredivisie success at Ajax before going on to win league titles at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AZ, and guided Netherlands to a third place finish at the 2014 World Cup. RELATED His reputation in football remains strong enough to attract some lucrative contract offers, but although Van Gaal says he has not retired from the game, he is enjoying life away from it and has not been attracted by the many clubs and countries who have come calling.

"I still get offers every week, which I find incredible," he told Bild am Sonntag. "Having coached Ajax, Barcelona, the Netherlands, FC Bayern and Manchester United like I did, it is difficult for any offer to be interesting." "I like my life the way it is at the moment, although I do not rule out that I will be a coach again. "I have already rejected offers from World Cup participants, most recently also a €25 million offer from China." 'WHAT CAN I LOSE?' -

"For example, Paris Saint-Germain is a fantastic club, but I would not do that anymore, I have to learn a new language and French is difficult for me," he added. "Communication is the most important thing for a coach, but PSG is a top team."
