Netherlands coach, Louis van Gaal confirmed that his treatment for prostate cancer was successful.
He had earlier announced that he was suffering from the illness on a Dutch television show this month.
The news cast a doubt on Van Gaal being well enough to lead Netherland at this year’s FIFA World Cup.
But now the ex Manchester United manager has revealed he has successfully been treated and he will be fit to lead his team to world cup.
“I’ve been through everything,” the 70-year-old coach said. “I had 25 radiation treatments. Then I had to wait five or six months to see if it had done its job. It did.”
Van Gaal will step down after he has led his country at Qatar 2022, with the Oranje boss looking to better his third-place finish in charge at Brazil 2014.
