Former Manchester United Interim Manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy Set to Lead Premier League Club

Reports from several British media outlets suggest that Ruud van Nistelrooy is on the verge of being named as the new manager of Leicester City. Van Nistelrooy recently parted ways with Manchester United, where he served as interim manager and assistant to Erik ten Hag. The decision to sack Steve Cooper as Leicester's manager came after just 12 Premier League matches, with the Foxes hovering above the relegation zone in 16th place. Van Nistelrooy's impressive performance as United's caretaker boss, including wins against Leicester in both the League Cup and Premier League, has likely played a role in his potential appointment at Leicester City.

The 48-year-old Dutchman has previous managerial experience from one year in charge of PSV Eindhoven in 2022/23.

reported that he could even be appointed in time to lead Leicester in their next game away at Brentford on Saturday.
