Van Gaal is probably the third best coach we can get at the moment. Only AvB and DD are more exciting prospects. Personally, I'm not a fan, but he's better than anything else that we've been linked with. And him being around might up the kind of quality coming through our doors, as he cracks the whip on the goon from Sampdoria. Don't know about results going our way in the league, but I do know he'll attract better players than Del Neri or Mazzari ever could.

Wikipedia: When asked about his system in 2008, van Gaal said, in fluent english: "It's a footballing philosophy more than a system. A system depends on the players you have. I played 4-3-3 with Ajax, 2-3-2-3 with Barcelona and I can play 4-4-2 with AZ. I'm flexible. The philosophy stays the same though. I don't think that you can adapt it to every possible situation. You need the right mindset, and it depends on how the players see the coach and vice versa. The coach is the focal point of the team but you need to have an open mind, and so do all the players. Everyone needs to work together to achieve a common goal. Preparing your tactical formation is essential. Each player needs to know where he has to be, and that is why there needs to be mutual understanding because you need absolute discipline. This is a sport played by 22 men, and there are 11 opponents out there playing as a team. Each individual needs to know who he has to beat and be there to support his team-mates."

have never liked him as a coach TBH, but can't doubt his credentials.

I heard Carletto might get the axe at Chelsea, any truth to that?

Another Italian coach, no thx, we need some "strangers" at juve. People with another look on football then the Italian football, don't know if you noticed, but lately, it hasn't been going so well with that.

You crazy? He would be exctly what we need, every club he coached, he brought suc6.
Only problem is that he isn't one for the long term, 2-3 seasons, and he will be gone if he joins but probably with results behind his name.
Then we should get a young promising Italian manager as his assistant, so he can succeed him after 2-3 seasons.. Italian coach with van Gaal influence could work wonders like with Mourinho. :p
