Steve Cooper was fired after Leicester City’s recent problems, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has been named the club’s new manager. With Leicester only two points above the Premier League relegation zone, 48-year-old Van Nistelrooy assumes the position. The deal he signed is valid until June 2027.

The former striker for Manchester United provides knowledge from his time as his previous team’s assistant manager and temporary manager. Van Nistelrooy talked about his new role and that he was excited for the task that lay ahead.

“I’m thrilled and proud,” he remarked. “Everyone I talk to is excited about Leicester City. They have wonderful anecdotes about the caliber of the club’s employees and supporters, and the club’s recent past is undoubtedly noteworthy. I can’t wait to get started, meet new people, and give the football team my best.

The match between Leicester and West Ham United on December 3rd will be Van Nistelrooy’s first test. The Foxes will be hoping the Dutchman can motivate them to turn things around and keep them from facing relegation.
