Van Gaal ready to return to Ajax 13.12.2010

Bayern coach Louis van Gaal is ready to return to "old love" - Ajax. The Dutchman also hopes one day his dream - to coach the national team of his country.

"I find great challenge for Ajax. I would also like to dream come true - to become coach of the Netherlands. If the majority of my fans have confidence, then I will be ready," said Van Gaal.

"If Ajax is actually ready to comply with me to be a boss, I was ready to come back," added the specialist.

Both sides have a long history. Van Gaal's career as a player begins precisely with the team, 29-time champions. From 1971 to 1973 did not record a single game.

From 1988 he worked as an assistant coach at Ajax. And since 1991 is a senior. Following three titles (1994, 1995, 1996), Champions League and Intercontinental Cup in 1995.

His last engagement was at the club as technical director and lasted eight months. In October 2004 all over. "Guide me from working. Will never go back to this club," Van Gaal cut in November.

But now everything is reversed. After removal of Martin Jol "superyoden" seek a new coach. Van Gaal's contract with Bayern expires in the summer of 2012. Then would be free for Ajax.
