Louis van Gaal in Talks Over Vacant Hamburg Job

Former Bayern Munich boss Louis van Gaal is in talks with Hamburg over their vacant coaching position, according to a report from Sport1.

The northern outfit have recorded only one point in their first six Bundesliga games, which prompted the club to part company with head coach Michael Oenning on Monday.

Now the Dutch trainer has reportedly been speaking with club chiefs in a bid to iron out a deal which would see him take over the struggling side.

The 60-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by the Bavarian giants in April after two seasons at the helm. During his time at the Allianz Arena, he led Bayern to a league and cup double in 2010, as well as an appearance in the Champions League final.

Van Gaal also has previous coaching experience with Ajax, Barcelona, AZ and the Dutch national side, but another former Netherlands boss, Marco van Basten, remains in contention for the Hamburg job.
