Be prepared, Premier League. Louis van Gaal is on his way and it is not going to be a subtle nor peaceful introduction.
The Netherlands coach has made clear his desire to move to England after the World Cup, with Tottenham and Manchester United interested in his signature, while Arsenal are monitoring the situation as they prepare contingency plans in case Arsene Wenger should
depart.
Whichever club's doors the 62-year-old would prefer to storm through remains unclear, but, just to be safe, all should begin preparations before this massive ego makes its grand entrance and makes sure that everyone in the land knows that he's the boss, the elite, the king – the greatest mind the league will have ever seen.
Aggressive, confrontational and prone to outbursts and temper tantrums, there is no ceiling to Van Gaal's arrogance and stubbornness. Indeed, he admits it himself and it doesn't take long for it to shine through.
As far as the Dutchman is concerned, he has no equal. His belief that there isn't a single person whose knowledge of football comes anywhere close to his will be a shock to all.
Furthermore, his outbursts in the dressing room will fill his players with fear.
"Congratulations on getting the best coach in the world!" he declared to the director immediately after his appointment as Ajax boss - his first job as a head coach.
"We have top players and, sorry, I'm arrogant, a top coach," he said in a press conference years later.
Upon taking the helm at Bayern, he professed: "The mentality at Bayern fits me perfectly. Why? The motto here is "we are who we are." And I am who I am: confident, arrogant, dominant, honest, hard-working and innovative."
