The Netherlands boss, 70, is due to lead his country at the World Cup in Qatar later this year, after he revealed he has cancer.
On Sunday 3 April 2022, the UK.
Louis van Gaal, the head coach of the Netherlands, has revealed that he is being treated for cancer.
On a Dutch television show called Humberto on Sunday evening, the 70 year old man admitted to having had a sexual relationship with someone.
The players don't know, according to Van Gaal. They see a blush on my cheeks and think, "what a healthy person that is." That is not the case.
I have been through a lot with illnesses, including with my wife. That is just part of life.
I think that all those experiences have made me richer. I thought that should be in the film as well.
In August 2021, Van Gaal took charge of the Netherlands for a third time, having previously led them to a third-place finish at the World Cup.
After a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign where the Dutch exited in the last-16, he replaced Frank de Boer and is now due to lead his country at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Group A of the tournament will include hosts Qatar, Africa Cup of Nations champion Senegal and Ecuador.
Van Gaal was in charge of Manchester United for two years before returning to the Netherlands.
He was sacked by the club and replaced by Jose Mourinho despite leading them to FA Cup success in the final game of his tenure.
A message of support was posted on United's social media accounts, saying that everyone at Manchester United was behind Louis van Gaal in his fight against cancer. Sending you strength and courage, Louis.
In 1995 he guided Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, and BAYERN MUNICH to European Championship glory.
