Road to Qatar 2022 It wasn't easy for the Netherlands to get out of Group G and reach the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 2014. An early defeat to Turkey was a worrying turn for the Dutch who quickly turned to veteran Louis van Gaal, appointed in August 2021 after coming out of retirement to take the national team reins for the third time. Results immediately came including a 6-1 thumping of Turkey, which pushed the Dutch to the top of the group where they stayed ever since. 

van Gaal also revealed in April 2022 he had undergone successful treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer, and that this World Cup would be his last.
