Mourinho said: "You know, sooner or later, I think I'm in that group because I am a very young coach. I hope there are still 20 years coaching, sooner or later I'll be there. But he prefers to be there a few weeks in a few years. "
Mourinho, 47, became the youngest coach to lead half club to European football's Holy Grail - the late Happel Hitzfeld was 57 and 52. For his part, Van Gaal, Mourinho, who once served as an assistant coach at FC Barcelona is now 58 years old and have until 1995 to go back for the first time I tried it with the UEFA Champions League at AFC Ajax AC Milan.
When Van Gaal was victorious, the 15-year period between the triumphs more than 13 years as a coach who took giant Austrian Happel his double remove. He lifted the European Cup in his first Champion Clubs' with Feyenoord, 2-1 winners comeback against Celtic FC in 1970. Then, after taking the Club Brugge KV in the 1978 final where they to Liverpool FC for Justice, Happel the trophy for the second time in 1983 after losing his Hamburger SV 1-0 Juventus surprised.

He led BV Borussia Dortmund to the title of 1997, when - as in Hamburg Happel - a region in the fight against Juventus 3-1 produces. Interestingly, this was the first victory of Germany from Hamburg in the framework of Happel. Then, with Bayern, Hitzfeld was beaten by Manchester United FC in 1999, but recovered two years later with victory over Valencia CF 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Van Gaal, who underwent a final loss in 1996 Ajax v Juventus, is trying to achieve Hitzfeld replicate. Hitzfeld, the coach of South Africa to Switzerland today, has praised the work of the Dutchman - "did a great job," he said recently - although her approach was different. Hitzfeld was known as "El Caballero" during his Bayern for its diplomatic relations with the club's star names and the introduction of a rotation policy to keep them happy. That's not the style of Van Gaal, everyone knows exactly who was boss, arriving in Munich last summer.
Happel, meanwhile, was a familiar figure authoritarian would approve of the way Van Gaal Arjen Robben camps on the sidelines after the striker reacted with petulance to be removed during the semi-final victory over Olympique Lyonnais. Happel also admired how ten of Mourinho, the Inter man worked tirelessly in their semi-final second leg at Camp Nou - after all, one of the characteristics of their equipment was his marvelous physical condition, the product of long training runs.
However, Happel was a man of few words - not something that can easily be said of one of Van Gaal and Mourinho. However, as Mourinho tries to follow in his footsteps, the "self-proclaimed Special One 'insists that his motivation comes from elsewhere." I want to do with these players, this club, these fans, "she said, pointing at the first European crown for 45 years Inter.
