Louis van Gaal has admitted he turned down the chance to manage Belgium so that he could continue to receive compensation for
being sacked by Manchester United.
In an interview with Dutch newspaper
Volkskrant, the 66-year-old said he was motivated by 'revenge' in his decision to turn down the role.
After his sacking in July 2016, Van Gaal would have foregone his compensation from Manchester United by taking another a job offer.
"It would have been really great if I had become Belgium national coach, but I was so resentful and vindictive that I let that job go by," said Van Gaal.
"It was stupid, really, because the sporting value should always come in the first place. That should have been the most important thing. But that's how I looked at things. It was not about money. It was all about the act of revenge.
Still get a warm fuzzy feeling for the tactical turtle.
