Louis van Gaal says he's joining Liverpool as Martinez considers offer
Louis van Gaal believes that Liverpool will make an official announcement of his appointment at the club by the end of the week.
However, it is still unclear whether he will be the manager of the Anfield club or a sporting director.
The Dutchman has told those close to him that he is considering an offer from Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Liverpool.Liverpool currently have two vacancies after Damien Comolli and Kenny Dalglish left the Merseyside club and the owners have been in discussions with a number of candidates for each job.
Despite being initially approached about the sporting director role, Van Gaal has made it clear he would be happy to succeed King Kenny in the Anfield dugout.
There is still confusion over the situation as outspoken Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has claimed that Latics boss Roberto Martinez has been offered the manager's role at Liverpool.He met with the owners in Miami earlier this week about the role and it is thought he would not be happy to work under a sporting director.Swansea's Brendan Rodgers, Jürgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund and Ajax's Frank de Boer have all turned down the opportunity to discuss a move to Anfield.
