Dutchman Louis Van Gaal has been confirmed as the new manager of Manchester United, with Ryan Giggs named his assistant.
The Dutchman will begin a three-year contract at Old Trafford after the conclusion of his work in charge of Netherlands at the World Cup, Goal.com reported Monday.
Frans Hoek and Marcel Bout, countrymen of Van Gaal, also arrive at Old Trafford as coaches, with the former specialising in goalkeeping and the latter in scouting the opposition, the report noted.
"To work as a manager for Manchester United, the biggest club in the world, makes me very proud.
"This club has big ambitions; I too have big ambitions. Together I'm sure we will make history," Van Gaal is quoted as having said.
