The 76-year-old footballing coach eventually joined Dick Advocaat’s cult and traveled with the self-styled on lucrative excursions to Sunderland as an assistant manager, Zenit Saint Petersburg, and Glasgow Rangers. He is wed to Vera Pauw, a former player under his guidance who is 17 years his younger and later became the head coach of the Netherlands women’s team.

In an interview with Off The Ball, Vera Pauw acknowledged the significant impact that Rinus Michels, a great football coach in the Netherlands, had on her growth. She said Michels is the third most important person in her coaching career after her husband van Lingen and her father.

Every day, they are reminded of how much the Dutch people miss him and how his personality and approach to communication are entirely different from everyone else’s. In terms of football, Michels and her husband Bert established, back then, the revolutionary method of instruction known as game-related coaching, which has since been adopted all over the globe.
