Dutchman Louis van Gaal, on Monday, revealed that he would leave coaching for "family reasons".

However, 24 hours later, the former Manchester United coach, in an interview with Cadena Ser on the show El Larguero, backtracked and revealed that he will only take a sabbatical year.

"I'm not retiring, I'm just going to take a sabbatical year and then decide; it depends on the offers," said the coach.

Less than a month ago, Valencia from Spain contacted Van Gaal to take over as coach, although there was never a positive response from the Dutchman.
