Former Manchester United boss, Louis Van gaal has rebuffed any claims he has retired from football.
Reports came earlier this week that Van Gaal has retired citing some family issues has the reason for his retirement at just 65.
The former Barcelona, Ajax, Manchester United, and Holland boss says he is taking a sabbatical rather than hanging his coaching skills.
"No, no no. I have not retired," Van Gaal told Cadena SER. "I am just taking a sabbatical year and after that I will decide. There is a good chance that I will retire.
"In the Netherlands the press writes what they want. I received a headline yesterday, but I said that I might retire, but this is not the time to say it, and for this reason I have taken a sabbatical year and then I will decide."
A return to La Liga could be on the cards for Van Gaal after he turned down embattled outfit Valencia, who are searching for a new head coach following the resignation of Cesare Prandelli.

"I received an offer from Valencia a month or so ago but I said no," said Van Gaal, who guided Barca to consecutive La Liga tiles from 1997-99.
"Next year may be different. It will depend on how I feel."
