Holland's legendary tactician Rinus Michels has died at the age of 77.
The coach is known as the creator of "total football" and was in charge of the legendary Dutch side that was beaten in the final of the 1974 World Cup by West Germany, and also the side that won the European Championship in 1988.
Although he represented his nation in the 1950s it was in coaching that Michels really established himself as a world force.
Michels took over at Ajax in 1965 and led the Amsterdam outfit through until 1971 inventing a system that became known as 'totaal voetbal.'
After narrowly losing out in World Cup 74, Michels went on to coach at Barcelona forging the strong Dutch links with the club.
But Michels' finest hour may be his triumph in the European Championship, taking a team that contained the likes of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Ronaldo Koeman and Frank Rijkaard to victory.
Rest in Peace... :'(

Der gute Rinus hat den letzten Titel für meinen Verein geholt.
Mach et joot General. :'(

Er hat den einzigen Titel für die Holländer geholt, eine unmögliche Aufgabe also!
Ich habe seine aktive Zeit zwar nicht miterlebt, aber er scheint einer der Besten gewesen zu sein...
