Former Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal snubbed for Belgium job for this reason
Louis van Gaal has been out of work since May

Holding a clipboard in the dugout with endless meetings and analysis sessions didn't go down too well with the players when he was in charge of Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, this is what cost him the chance to coach Belgium.

The report suggests Van Gaal, who had a preliminary meeting with the Belgian federation, was deemed 'draining' and 'exhausting'.

That was the overall impression of the Dutchman when he was asked to talk about his vision for the national team.

Belgium failed to set Euro 2016 alight and they were knocked out by Wales in the quarter-finals.

Instead, former Everton manager Roberto Martinez got the gig.

It is thought he wowed Belgium officials when asked to discuss the country's defeats by Italy and Wales.

However, Martinez began his reign with a 2-0 defeat to Spain on Thursday.
