Louis van Gaal has revealed he is grooming Ryan Giggs to replace him as Manager at Manchester United, according to a story in the Daily Mail.
So when picking your successor, “it’s better the (Red) Devil you know.” Like the tired cliche, and also Kylie Minogue hit song says.
Terrible and inappropriate pun I know. But hey, now I have an excuse to post a couple Kylie Minogue pictures and thats always a good thing.
Anyways, when Van Gaal made the decision to keep Ryan Giggs on as an assistant this past May it was a win-win for everybody involved. Giggsy served as the perfect bridge between the past (as a storied player from the famed Class of 92) and the present. In his stint as caretaker manager, Giggs compiled a record of two wins, a draw and a defeat in the final four games of the 2013–14 season.
And the future as well: Giggs made enough of an impression that Van Gaal believes he could/should/will be the future leader of the team.
By the way, here’s more one more Kylie pic for the road:
