Wilfred Genee thinks Louis van Gaal is the ideal new national coach for the the Dutch Lionesses. The KNVB is looking for a successor to Sarina Wiegman, who will leave for the national team of England after the Olympic Games. Genee advises the football association to throw a ball at Van Gaal, who no longer trained a club after his dismissal from Manchester United in 2016.
“The funny thing is that I recently read an analysis in which it was stated that in the past mainly men had coached the women, but that it never really led to success because the chemistry between a male coach and a female player group is still slightly more difficult” , Genee opens in conversation with Show news. “And with the arrival of Sarina Wiegman, something has actually changed.” The presenter expects Van Gaal to have the knowledge and skills to coach a selection of women. “He seems to be very charming in the private sphere, if I believe the stories. That he gets along with women and is very nice. Maybe we will get to see a very unexpected side of Louis.”
“Then we make an appointment with this one: Louis van Gaal. I think it’s a good idea all of a sudden, I’m turning around completely”, Genee continues with a joke. “All those other men (Roger Reijners and Arjan van der Laan, ed.) Were also not of the level Louis van Gaal, you have to remember that. They were all a bit unsuccessful trainers for the men. thought to themselves: I’m just going to try it with the ladies. No of course, the most successful coach in the Netherlands for women, we become world champions. We have solved it, “said the enthusiastic Genee.
Hélène Hendriks is also enthusiastic about Van Gaal, although the presenter also puts forward some other options. “There is a lot of speculation. It is said: Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Sjaak Polak, the trainer of the ADO Women. Very nice, good guy. But no experience with a national team and I think it is very difficult to find someone. who has long experience in professional football. ” To then return to Van Gaal. “Anouk (Hoogendijk, ed.) And I have already indicated in the broadcast: that would really be a super suitable candidate. wishful thinking. “
