At the time of announcing his illness, Van Gaal was the national coach of the Netherlands, but he has not worked since the last World Cup in Qatar in 2022. Van Gaal, whose outstanding career also includes having managed Barcelona and Bayern Munich, reiterated his lack of interest in returning to club management, but noted that the possibility of becoming the national team coach of a top-tier country could tempt him to return. Currently, Van Gaal serves as a special advisor at Ajax.Two years ago, I underwent some operations. Everything was bad then. But in the end, everything went well. I have check-ups every few months, and that’s going well. I’m getting fitter and fitter.
