Official: L. van Gaal leaves "Man Utd"

"Manchester United" on Monday evening finally officially confirmed that Louis van Gaal is being relieved of his duties as head coach. Throughout the day, various media outlets reported that the "Red Devils" will part ways with the 64-year-old football specialist. L. van Gaal did not keep his seat at the legendary English club even after winning the FA Cup on Saturday. In an official statement from the "Man Utd" club, club president Ed Woodward stated: "I would like to thank Louis van Gaal and his staff for their excellent work over the past two years, which ended with a record 12 FA Cup titles. He conducted himself professionally and showed dedication throughout the entire period. He leaves us with some excellent young talents whom he instilled confidence in. Everyone associated with this club wants to thank Louis and wish him a successful future." The statement also adds that the new coach will be announced shortly. So far, the name of the future coach is not disclosed, but in this story everything is already clear - arriving at the club in the middle of the season is the recently sacked from London's "Chelsea" Jose Mourinho. L. van Gaal had a contract with "Man Utd" until 2017, so the "Red Devils" will have to pay a significant compensation.
