Briefing on the FIFA World Cup 2022: Louis Van Gaal Is a Unique Individual in Qatar
The former Manchester United manager was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2020. He went through 25 radiation sessions while handling the Netherlands World Cup qualifying campaign. At 71, he is likely to be managing his last FIFA World Cup. Neutral fans across the globe want him to have one last dance in Qatar.
About FIFA’s decision, he said earlier this year: “It’s ridiculous that the World Cup is [in Qatar]. Fifa says they want to develop football there. That’s bullshit. It’s about money, about commercial interests.” Qatar has been criticized for corruption and human rights abuses since winning to bid to host the tournament.
FIFA are set to make $7.5 billion in revenue, while stadiums are filled with empty seats. Qatar also received objections for holding outdoor events in a notoriously hot and humid climate.
Louis van Gaal’s interviews are often filled with the richness of entertainment. His presser ahead of the Netherlands clash against Argentina on Thursday was sold out.
Louis van Gaal managed Manchester United for two seasons between 2014 and 2016. He helped the Red Devils win the FA Cup during the 2015-16 season. However, his winning percentage of 52.43 at Manchester United is the worst of his managerial career.
