Mitchell van der Gaag…

[distant_red]

Top button undone = sloppy attitude, no attention to detail. More jobs for the boys. Do not want.

I'd like to see him or Eric do the Pete Buttigieg blue suit for the first game.

 

[soapythecat]

Sniper's dream

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Hope he knows the word cnut in every language so can properly address everyone.

 

[Rozay]

Credited for improving the Ajax defence

…

 

[Cassidy]

He needs to be a bloody magician to do so at United

 

[Escobar]

Expecto patronum

 

[Rodgerzzz]

There's a Gaag in this surname somewhere...

 

[horsechoker]

A lot of praise for McClaren but MvdG must be doing something right too.

 

[Berbasbullet]

What does he actually do?

 

[arthurka]

He looks a hard man.. apparently he speaks a lot of languages.

 

[JPRouve]

What does he actually do?

He is ETH's barber.

 

[rimaldo]

What does he actually do?

like how a 5 will look an 8 around some 3s, he makes erik look like he has a full head of hair.

 

[next_number_seven]

A lot of praise for McClaren but MvdG must be doing something right too.

Denis Irwin in an interview said McCLaren was the best coach he had

 

[JJ12]

ETH’s bodyguard and stunt double

 

[bosnian_red]

What does he actually do?

They talked about him on the talk of the Devils podcast recently... He's the assistant manager when it comes to tactical things, McClaren is the "off the pitch" assistant (morale, relating to players and all that). MvdG is the main guy who sets up the training sessions.

 

[Adnan]

He's the main man after ten Hag when it comes to coaching the technical side according to reports. McLaren also adds his input but he's gone on record and admitted he didn't know as much about the technical side of coaching until he met ten Hag at FC Twente.

 

[I’m loving my life]

What does he actually do?

He Phelans so much better than that other bald useless guy

 

[Bastian]

Will he go to Ajax now they've sacked Steijn? How would that impact things for Erik?

 

[Judas]

Might be a good thing. Gets some fresh ideas in there. Hard for any of us to truly know the impact he has if he's here or not.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Suppose it's kind of like Carrick and McKenna being ridiculed for some of the poor form during Ole's tenure...then going on to forge pretty good records for their clubs as managers.

You never really know what they're capable of.

Carlos Quieroz was considered one of Sir Alex's best assistants and won't walk away from club management with any real achievements.

Van der Gaag has actually been head coach himself already. Never at the level of Ajax though, just at Portuguese and Dutch clubs in the second tier and lower half of the first tier.

 

[united_99]

Could be a good thing if we get someone externally in (as opposed to an internal promotion). We obviously have some issues in games and sometimes people from the outside with some distance from the club can see/identify them better or quicker than the people inside the club who are very busy and involved in the day-to-day stuff.

 

[Chairman Steve]

I thought he already tried to be a head coach in Portugal and got health issues from the stress of it.

So going to Ajax with the shape they’re currently in is absolute no for someone like that.
