Manchester United sack Louis van Gaal and his Dutch coaching staff as Jose Mourinho prepares to take charge at Old Trafford - Louis van Gaal has been dismissed from his role at Manchester United
- Jose Mourinho will take over reins at Old Trafford following Van Gaal's exit
- Albert Stuivenberg and Frans Hoek have also left the club
Manchester United have sacked Louis van Gaal just two days after the Dutchman led the Red Devils to a FA Cup final victory over Crystal Palace. The Dutchman has been made to pay for United's poor Premier League campaign and will be replaced by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Van Gaal's Dutch coaching staff - including United assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg and goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek - have also left the club with immediate effect. Ed Woodward arrived at Manchester United's Carrington training complex ahead of talks with Van Gaal on Monday morning. The United executive vice-chairman informed Van Gaal he will no longer continue as manager as they look to appoint Mourinho as his successor.
Van Gaal arrived at Carrington at around 8.45am. Van Gaal's entire coaching staff were also present as they learned their fate. Mourinho expects to have more talks on Tuesday ahead of signing a three-year deal with Rui Faria and Silvino Louro the goalkeeping coach expected to follow. Van Gaal was followed into United's training ground by employment lawyer Paul Gilroy QC, who has long worked with the League Managers Association.
Having initially been turned away by security, he was allowed into the complex around an hour after the Dutchman arrived.
Gilroy lists former United manager Moyes among the clients he has advised, along with Ferguson, Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers.
Chambers and Partners describe Gilroy as 'a noted employment specialist' who is 'renowned for getting a fantastic deal for managers'.
