Louis van Gaal and wife had fiery argument and broke down in tears over Man Utd sacking

Louis van Gaal broke down in tears after a row with his wife in the wake of his Manchester United sacking.

Van Gaal took over as United boss after leading Netherlands to the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup. He won the FA Cup in his second season, beating Crystal Palace in the final after extra-time, but that proved to be his final game in charge before he was replaced by Jose Mourinho.

The Dutch coach spent time out of management after leaving Old Trafford, only returning in 2021 when he was hired to take charge of his national side for a third time. Now, Van Gaal's wife Truus has shared the story of what happened when the Champions League -winning manager knew his time in England was up.
