Louis van Gaal says his ambition is to become a World Cup winner with the Netherlands after taking over the national team coaching job for a third time, he told a news conference on Tuesday.
The 70-year-old said he had not taken the job to chase his own dreams but to help Dutch football out of a quandary after the resignation of Frank de Boer after the European Championship and the resumption of World Cup qualification next month.
“I’m not doing this for myself but I’m doing it to help Dutch football. I’ve always done everything to help Dutch football. I’ve a lot to thank them for, the status that I have as a coach is thanks to them,” Van Gaal said.
The Dutch football association said they had approached the veteran coach because they felt they needed experience in the job with little time before next year’s World Cup in Qatar.
