Who wouldn’t love to get paid a whole lot to do nothing?
Louis Van Gaal, head coach of Manchester United seems to have to have the best job in the world if his words are to be believed. The Dutchman claims Manchester United pay him a lot of money to basically do NOTHING
The coach admits he get to delegate duties to others rather than do them himself.
During a recent League Managers Association meeting LVG said: “I’m from a time where you [the manager] did everything. Now I’m the manager and I have a sports science department, I have a scouting department, I have a medical department, I have assistant managers, I have assistant coaches.
“I don’t do anything – nothing! I delegate. I delegate, and I earn a lot of money.”
According to the former Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern Munich manager, most of the innovations by managers today began from his time as a younger manager.
He said: “Feedback is very important, of course. But I have to say that because when I don’t say that then I’m arrogant!
“I am also an innovator, and I have changed a lot in terms of preparing for games. I was the first coach who was with a notebook. Now everybody is with a notebook. I was the first coach who used video.”
Manchester United are presently fourth on the premier league table; two points behind table toppers Arsenal and Manchester City. United face Watford in their next premier league game.
