There were a few, er, unusual issues with his contract at Newcastle iirc. Allegedly.

It's interesting that you mention those two, Van Gaal almost caused a mutiny at United, the players were sick of his school master ridged style of play where they were not free to express themselves. One example was his instruction that if there was a low ball passed across the penalty area the players were not allowed to shoot first time, they had to take a touch and then hit it. It got so bad that he was sending them tactical notes by email and the players were just ignoring them.
Anchelotti had a similar problem at Bayern. the players were complaining that they were unfit because the training wasn't strong enough leading to many injuries and that he was absent all the time. he fell out with a lot of players as they perceived a lack of intensity from him.
There are many articles about these instances that go into more detail about the havoc they caused so before suggesting a "Big name" it might be a good idea to do a bit of research.

Feckin' hilarious that PMSL ...'Kin Ell
30 m buyout clause for when the big boys come calling after we win the double the first year and the CL and the league the second year.
That’ll make sure he stays and sees out his contract
As an Irishman and a committed European that’s one thread I’m glad I didn’t get involved in.
I think Britain will regret it but that’s beside the point

There should be a way to build in some form of minimum performance standards, similar to Moyes had at United when he was binned for not qualifying for champions league. It could be phased MPS, like finishing in top half first season (given likely upheaval initially in playing staff and style) and qualifying for Europe in subsequent seasons. If he doesn't meet those standards we have the option to release him for a pre agreed settlement. For our part we could agree to a buy out clause if a "more attractive" club comes along.
I'd also have him on a salary scale that's linked to performance. Don't think he's ever been on more than £1.5m pa so I'd suggest starting him at around £3m, increasing by £1m when he finishes in European slot for the first time, and anther £1m when he wins a trophy for the first time, and another £1m when he qualifies for the champions league for the first time. He'd then be on £6m. FFS we've just given Allardyce £9m for 6 months.
There should be some way to agree to a long term deal that protects both parties and also incentivises him to do well.
