On April 6, Beijing time, according to the “Mirror” report, the Dutch national team will change coaches after the World Cup, appointing Ronald Koeman to replace Van Gaal who is suffering from cancer.
Dutch coach Louis van Gaal recently announced that he has prostate cancer and has received 25 treatments for it, hoping to overcome the disease, but he will not give up leading the Netherlands to the Qatar World Cup during this period.
The Mirror quoted the Telegraph as saying that Ronald Koeman will officially take over the Netherlands from January 1, 2023.
Van Gaal previously revealed his condition on a show: “They don’t know it, they just see the blush on my face and think: What a healthy person this is. But it’s not the case.”
“I don’t think I can tell my colleagues that because it might affect their choices and decisions, so I don’t think they should know. You don’t die from prostate cancer, at least 90 percent of the time. .”
“Usually it’s other underlying complications that kill you. But I have a very aggressive exterior, and I’ve actually had 25 chemotherapy treatments.”
“I did get care from the hospital, they allowed me in through the back door, I was pushed into another room right away, etc. I was treated extremely well.”
It was widely reported by the media that Ronald Koeman, who was about to take over the Netherlands, had previously coached the Dutch team from 2018 to 2020, and then he chose to leave the Netherlands and took over Barcelona, until the current coach Xavi took over after leaving. . Koeman has a very good relationship with many players of the Dutch team. He has led them to achieve quite good results, but it is difficult to say whether there is a rift between him and the Dutch Football Association. After all, he was bent on leaving early.
