And at his
unveiling, De Boer admitted he spoke to former Manchester United boss Van Gaal.
De Boer has
a close relationship with Van Gaal having played under the ex-Old Trafford
chief at Ajax and Barcelona.
“I already
spoke with Van Gaal, a very informal talk. Van Gaal is always very good to me
and we have always contact,” said De Boer.

On his new
job, De Boer added: “I have a good feeling about the club also the perspective
to manage a team in the Premier League was very exciting.
“There are
almost no weak teams in the Premier League so I am very excited to be manager
for this club. When he [Steve Parish] asked me directly I did my homework and
tried to get more info about the club. Not only the players but also the
history. I am very happy to be here. It is a club that still can grow further
and further because every English club can spend a lot of money so there is a
possibility to do something well with that money.”
