Louis van Gaal believes the Netherlands can go all the way in the World Cup - now he’ll be wearing his lucky underpants.
The madcap former Manchester United manager is planning to hang up his tracksuit again at the end of the tournament after being tempted out of retirement by the chance to lead the Dutch for a third time. He took Holland to the semi-finals in 2014 - and has set his sights on lifting football’s most glittering prize in Qatar after his wife Truus packed him off to the desert with three new pairs of bright orange Y-fronts.
Van Gaal, 71, explained: “My lovely Truus has bought me three new pairs of orange underpants - and they went in my suitcase for Qatar before anything else. I wear orange underpants every day - and not only when I am with Holland.
