Netherlands coach says ‘I’ve been through everything’ but everything went well
Van Gaal recovers from prostate cancer
The selector of Netherlands, Louis van Gaalhas said that the treatment he underwent for an aggressive form of prostate cancer has been successful.
The 70-year-old former Manchester United and FC Barcelona manager revealed his diagnosis on a Dutch television show earlier this month. Van Gaal, in his third spell as Orange coach, will lead the team to the World Cup in Qatar later this year before being replaced by Ronald Koeman.
“I’ve been through everything,” Van Gaal told the Dutch news agency ANP. “I had 25 radiation treatments. Then I had to wait five or six months to see if it had done its job. And it did.” The Netherlands face hosts Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador in the World Cup group stage, which begins in November.
