Earlier this week, former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal said he would not be returning to football. Then, a day later, insisted he was not retiring but only taking a sabbatical to be with his family and that, in fact, he had rejected an offer from Valencia and would consider his future in the summer.
One thing seems certain: Van Gaal's failure to conquer English football with United will make it difficult, if not downright impossible, for him to give up football for good.
It's always been like this for the Dutchman.
