Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has announced that he is free from prostate cancer, ending his five-year health battle.
The 73-year-old was diagnosed in late 2020, but kept the news private until April 2022, when he went public during his third spell as head coach of the Netherlands.
He revealed it was an 'aggressive' form, undergoing around 25 radiation therapy sessions, hormone injections, surgeries, catheters, and urine bags, while continuing to coach and even lead his team through the 2022 World Cup.
Van Gaal resigned after the tournament to focus on fighting his prostate cancer, and revealed in September 2023 that it would be a 'miracle' if he ever goes to the toilet by himself again.
