«Two years ago I had a few operations. It was all bad at the time. But in the end it all worked out. I have check-ups every few months, and that goes well. I get fitter and fitter,» he said.
Van Gaal, whose career stints included Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, repeated a lack of interest in returning to club management, but said that being the national coach of a top country country could seduce him back.
He now serves as a special adviser to Ajax.
