Manchester United Management has sacked United Coach,Louis Van Gaal as team Manager.

His sacking came two days after he led United into FA cup victory against Crystal Palace.

Among those who will follow Van Gaal include United assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg and goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek

Van Gaal will be replaced by football tactician Jose Mourinho, who was sacked last season at Chelsea after producing one of the worst performances in his coaching career.

United missed UEFA champions league spot this season after finishing 5th, behind Manchester city. The result meant that Van Gaal had to go to give way to Mourinho,who had already signed a contract secretly with United.

A statement from United stated that Mourinho will be in charge of United for a long period and his first assignment is to ensure his team finishes top this season.

Mourinho is regarded by a number of players, coaches, and commentators as one of the greatest and most successful managers in the world. In 2015 Mourinho was named the best Portuguese coach of the century by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). Mourinho began his involvement in professional football as a player in the Portuguese Second Division. He studied sports science in Technical University of Lisbon and attended coaching courses in Britain. In Lisbon, he worked as a physical education teacher and had spells working as a youth team coach, a scout, and an assistant manager. In the early 1990s, he became an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting CP and Porto in Portugal, and Barcelona in Spain. He remained at the Catalonian club working with Robson’s successor Louis van Gaal.

In 2008, Mourinho moved to Serie A club Internazionale. Within three months he had won his first Italian honour, the Supercoppa Italiana, and completed the season by winning the Serie A title. In 2009–10, Inter became the first Italian club to win the treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League, also the first time Inter had won the latter competition since 1965. He is one of only five coaches to have won the European Cup with two different teams, along with Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jupp Heynckes and Carlo Ancelotti. He won the first ever FIFA World Coach of the Year Award in 2010.[7] He then signed with Real Madrid in 2010, winning the Copa del Rey in his first season. The following year, he won the La Liga and became the fifth coach, after Tomislav Ivić, Ernst Happel, Giovanni Trapattoni and Eric Gerets, to have won league titles in at least four different countries: Portugal, England, Italy, and Spain. After leaving Madrid in June 2013, Mourinho returned to England to manage Chelsea for a second spell, during which they won another league championship, but this came to an end on 17 December 2015, after a poor run of results left Chelsea just outside the relegation zone
