73-year-old famous coach Louis Van Gaal recently participated in the "Humberto" talk show and updated his health. In 2022, Van Gaal announced that he had prostate cancer, and now he says he is in good condition: "I am no longer troubled by cancer."
Van Gaal said on the show: "I had several surgeries two years ago, and everything was terrible at that time. I had a very difficult bowel movement and needed a diaper. But in the end everything got better and I was able to deal with it now."
Although the metastasis of cancer cells was under control, Van Gaal still needs to be tested regularly. "I have to check it every few months, but it's in good condition. My body is getting healthier."
Van Gaal also talked about the impact of the disease on his psychology, especially in public. "I didn't feel very severe pain. But I am a clean person, and every time I experience incontinence, it makes me very painful. I often attend public events, and then I wear dark trousers to avoid looking too bad. It's very bad."
Van Gaal vividly told a specific scene during his cancer: "When the DPP's shield was awarded (Editor's Note: 2022), I peed directly in my pants. But thankfully, that's all done. For the past."
Van Gaal also talked about his future in football: "In the past two years, although I was sick, there were clubs who invited me to coach, but I was unwilling to accept it because I didn't want to work every day. The national team coach only has 8 international game days windows a year, but who would still want a 73-year-old coach with prostate cancer? Maybe it's like Curacao? I only want to coach a team like England or Germany."
