Louis van Gaal Shares Health Update, Reflects on Life with Prostate Cancer

Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has provided an update on his health two years after revealing his battle with aggressive prostate cancer.
Following the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 72-year-old Dutchman stepped down from his third stint as the Netherlands’ boss to focus on his treatment, which involves radiation therapy and the use of a urine bag.
Van Gaal is currently filming a documentary titled “Always Positive” alongside Maria Blasco, director of the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, to support oncological research.
In an interview with Spanish outlet AS, he discussed his coping mechanisms, treatment updates, and his family’s history with death.
Reflecting on how cancer has impacted his outlook on life, Van Gaal said, “Not much, really. My father died when I was 11 years old at 53, my first wife passed away at 39, and all my brothers died too soon. I’m used to death, and I know it’s a part of life.”
He shared his initial reaction to the diagnosis, “When I first heard I had cancer, I said, ‘Okay, it’s not good news, but I better try to do something about it.’ Each human can react differently. That’s why I say: ‘Be yourself.’”
Van Gaal, who managed Manchester United from 2014 to 2016 and won the FA Cup in his final season, took a five-year break before returning to manage the Netherlands in 2021. Despite his health challenges, he appeared in good spirits while managing his team.
“I have always looked very young; that’s why my appearance is good,” he joked. “My mother had her face like a flower until the end, and I have the same luck.
I’ve been living with the disease for over three years, undergoing radiation, hormone injections, operations, and using catheters and urine bags. It’s unbelievable, but I can handle it.
I managed it even better during the World Cup because I had a goal. Having a goal has been positive for me in dealing with cancer, just like coaching.”

Tinubu Says Ending Fuel Subsidies And Fixing Taxes Are Helping Nigeria

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.
Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.
Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.
On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.
The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Tinubu Promises Stronger Security and More Support for Nigerians

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.
Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.
President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
