Leicester City has officially named Ruud van Nistelrooy as their new head coach, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for the Foxes.
The Dutchman, renowned for his prolific goal-scoring during his playing days, steps into the managerial hot seat following his recent departure from Manchester United.
Van Nistelrooy expressed his enthusiasm about the appointment, stating, “I can’t wait!” He joins Leicester City after parting ways with Manchester United, where his tenure as part of the coaching setup ended following Rúben Amorim’s arrival as the club’s new manager.
The former Real Madrid and PSV Eindhoven striker brings with him a wealth of experience and a reputation for attacking football.
His time as a coach has seen him steadily rise through the ranks, including stints with PSV’s youth setup and his managerial spell at the senior level.
Leicester City, currently competing in the EPL , will hope Van Nistelrooy’s arrival can galvanize the squad and push them towards a stay to the Premier League.
The Foxes have endured a mixed campaign so far but are looking to capitalize on their new manager’s energy and tactical nous to achieve their promotion ambitions.
Leicester fans eagerly await Van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge, as the club begins a new journey under the guidance of one of European football’s most iconic figures.
