Netherlands national team coach Louis van Gaal revealed today (Sunday) during a local TV show that he is suffering from prostate cancer. “Every time during my time as national team coach I had to leave at night to go to the hospital without the players finding out. While thinking I was healthy, but I was not,” he said. The chances of recovery from prostate cancer are over 90%, Cause death.
As mentioned, Van Gaal did not reveal the disease to the team players so that it would not affect them during the last training and games of the team, which was fighting for its place in Qatar. The coach added that he had received wonderful treatment from the medical staff at the hospital and had already undergone numerous treatments.
The 70-year-old Van Gaal is one of the oldest and most respected coaches in Europe. He started his coaching career in the early 1990s at Ajax and later coached Barcelona, Alkmaar, Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Starting in July 2021, he coaches the Netherlands national team, to which he returned for a third term on a one-and-a-half year contract, and even promoted it to the World Cup.
