German newspaper Bild reports this morning that new Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal has banned his players from going to discos.

The Dutch coach said he will have informers at many of the night clubs in Munich including Munich P1, probably the most famous disco in the city.

The former AZ Alkmaar coach also banned night club activities during his spell at Barcelona.

Bayern Munich’s new sports director said: "We want our players to behave professionally and have the right attitude towards the club."

Hamit Altintop appeared to be visibly annoyed about this new rule saying: "Work is work. Private is private. The coach hasn’t said anything about this to us."
