A Quote by Edgar Davids

If you look at most youngsters, they have worked well under Van Gaal. I had never heard of Thomas Muller at Bayern Munich before Van Gaal managed him, and he's now one of the best players in the world.

Van Gaal is a teacher, pays attention to everything you do, but Hiddink is more linked to the players. He gives more freedom than Van Gaal, but I worked with both of them pretty well.

Georginio Wijnaldum

When you have Van Gaal in charge, it is a fact that there is fear in his team. The players have a fear for mister Van Gaal. That is not always good.

Ronald Koeman

Manchester United? That's not an option. I am staying at Bayern Munich. Period. I had a great time under Van Gaal at Bayern, he has been very important for my career but I am very happy at my current club.

Arjen Robben

The best and most important step of my career was when I moved here - and Louis van Gaal brought me from Madrid to Bayern. It was the best move of my career, and it's thanks to him.

Arjen Robben

The big clubs will always talk about the same names such as Ancelotti, Mourinho, and Wenger. Louis Van Gaal is always in there as well. He has his own style and is a very determined man. He knows exactly what he wants. He's got direction, the ability and experience at big clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Peter Schmeichel

It is difficult to adapt to Van Gaal. I had a couple of rows with him.

Angel Di Maria

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

Jurgen Klopp

You have to bear in mind where Louis van Gaal has worked before. His self-belief is bigger than Jose Mourinho's.

Peter Schmeichel

Louis Van Gaal is a great coach. He has inspired a lot of players to give their best, shown them how to play.

Rivaldo

Van Gaal is the best coach I've had. We've got a very special relationship.

Arjen Robben

I already worked with Van Gaal before at the Under-20 team back in 2001. He hasn't changed much as a coach since. He really stands out.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

The trainer I learned most from about the field of play was Van Gaal, even though he's the one I've had the most confrontations with - well, disagreements. He's got an obsession with work ethic, the way he plans.
