Leicester City to reportedly appoint Ruud van Nistelrooy as Coach

Times are a changing and next season’s premier league could take a different shape moving forward.

Leicester City are reportedly considering former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy for their managerial vacancy following the imminent departure of Enzo Maresca.

Maresca is set to take over at Chelsea, succeeding Mauricio Pochettino, who recently left Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will compensate Leicester with £10 million for Maresca, who successfully led the Foxes back to the Premier League by winning the Championship this season.

Despite facing potential challenges, including a possible points deduction due to alleged breaches of Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules, the managerial role at Leicester City is expected to attract significant interest.

Several candidates have been linked with the position, including former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper, former Chelsea coach Graham Potter, and Carlos Coberan of West Brom.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been unemployed since leaving PSV last year due to a “lack of support” from the club’s leadership, is another contender. According to The Mirror, the Dutchman, who has expressed a desire to manage in the Premier League, is being seriously considered by Leicester City.

The 47-year-old van Nistelrooy is reportedly on Leicester City’s shortlist as they seek a replacement for the departing Maresca.
