I have always wondered how come everyone is so fascinated by Van Gaal. We all remember Ajax from the mid90s but that story lasted briefly and they had the system to thank for the fame not the coach. As soon as big clubs got the idea to buy everyone that was worth something in that team, things fell into place.
Van Gaal is imply not a big coach, for various reasons.
First of all, his innovations don’t give results. Few titles won on Barcelona bench don’t mean anything, as real were on their knees back then, while the Catalans had no success in Europe. He brought too many Dutchmen with him; with the help of Cruiff managed to ruin the atmosphere in the team, by arguing with the key players and the whole story ended without any real progress.
After that the failure with the national squad followed, then another disappointment in Barca, the clashes with Ajax management and the title with AZ Alkmar. This revived his career but that is no one gets the chance ro return on the big scene after such an achievement.
No one except for Van Gaal.
Bayern is not the club for him; there is a reason why they are called FC Hollywood. They are not avant-garde, they don’t care for innovations, they want to win. We should mention that Van Gaal inherited the team that have lost some of the winning mentality, but this is the strongest team in his arms this century. No coach had Ribery and Robben together and a lot of money was invested in new signings, still there are no results.
Van Gaal is making the same mistakes, fights with key players, introduces young players when they need the goal margin and slowly he is losing credibility in both Bundesliga and in Europe.
The wrong man at the wrong place.
Autumn is always a crisis period for Bavarian bench and the Dutchman is no exception. By the end of November he will have lost his chance in the Champions League, his team won’t be on the top in Bundesliga so the sack is logical consequence.
He is used to such outcomes, but there is a difference now- never will he get a chance in a big club anymore.

van Gaal is not the coach for a big club as Bayern.They should brought Spalleti before he signed with Zenit. My recomendation for Bayern is to change the coach soon as possible. Good coach for them,at my opinion would be serbian coach Stepanovic or German coach Lev. Maybe Mancini colud something with Bayern. My best wishes to Bayern
