Current Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that he wants to manage in the Premier League once the World cup is over.

Van Gaal was linked with the Spurs job after the sacking of Andre Villas Boas in December last year, but decided to stay on as Netherlands boss.

The Dutchman said, “I am mostly interested in England because I have been a coach in Spain, Germany, in the Netherlands, so I think England is the next step in my career.

“Spurs? It could be another club – it depends on the vacancies, because Spurs was already with me.

“I prefer to be focused on this World Cup and now there’s another coach, so as coach you cannot say I go to that club or that club, it depends on circumstances and the vacancies.”

Van Gaal also said that he has no doubt about the fact that Robin Van Persie will hit top form sooner rather than later and help his side in the upcoming World cup, “I think he should be great in the tournament because he loves to play in the Dutch squad.

“He has shown that in all the qualification matches more than ever, because he’s our top scorer, and I hope he can continue this.

“The football from Man United now is, for him, maybe difficult, but then he will wish to show his techniques. Techniques in the Dutch team for him is higher.

“The Dutch team might benefit him, you never know,” he added.
