He said: “You don’t die of prostate cancer, at least not in 90% of cases. Usually other underlying diseases kill you. I was given preferential treatment in the hospital. I was given preferential treatment in hospital. I was allowed in through the door after arriving for treatment. I was treated wonderfully.”

Despite having to battle cancer at the time, Van Gaal still led the Netherlands to win tickets to the World Cup in Qatar later this year. They will face hosts Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador in the group stage, which kicks off in November.

The Netherlands have confirmed that Ronald Koeman will take over as head coach of their national team following Van Gaal’s resignation following the 2022 World Cup.
