Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal says he has prostate cancer and has been receiving treatment, but still plans to lead his team at the World Cup in Qatar in seven months’ time.

Players unaware

Van Gaal, 70, told RTL television on Sunday that the players “don’t know it,” adding he has undergone 25 bouts of radiotherapy, including during training camps with the Dutch team. The players “think I’m in good health, but I’m not,” said the former Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Ajax coach, who began treatment last year after his diagnosis in 2020.
