JAKARTA – The coach of the Dutch national team, Louis van Gaal, gave unpleasant news. The 70-year-old tactician confirmed he had prostate cancer.
The former Manchester United boss revealed his illness on the Dutch television show, Humberto. However, he stressed that he would not step down from the chair of the Orange team coach.
"Every period during my time as manager of the national team, I used to go to the hospital at night without the players knowing it until now. Thought I was healthy. But I wasn't," he said.
"I did get preferential treatment at the hospital. I was allowed in through the back door when I made an appointment and went there and was immediately taken to another room. I have been treated wonderfully," he continued.
