#3 AZ Alkmaar (2005-2009)
Louis van Gaal took over at AZ Alkmaar in 2005 and finished second in the league in his first season. He finished third in the 2006-2007 season and proclaimed that he would leave at the end of the 2008 season due to bad results.
He was persuaded to stay by the players and won the Eredivisie in his last year at the club, even going unbeaten in the league for 28 games before leaving for Bayern Munich.
