ANKARA (AA) - Louis Van Gaal, 69, was appointed as the manager of the Dutch national football team on Wednesday, the Netherlands' Football Federation announced.

Van Gaal coached powerhouses including Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United throughout his career.

The Dutch manager won one UEFA Champions League in 1995, one UEFA Cup in 1992, three Dutch Premier Division (Eredivisie) titles in 1995, in 1996, in 1997 with Ajax, two La Liga titles in 1998 and 1999 with Barcelona, one Bundesliga title in 2010 with Bayern Munich, and one Dutch Premier Division (Eredivisie) title in 2009 with AZ Alkmaar.

The Netherlands took 3rd place in the 2014 World Cup under Van Gaal's helm.
