Ruud van Nistelrooy Linked with Leicester City Manager Role

Manchester United legend and former interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly being considered for a quick return to the Premier League, with Leicester City showing interest in him as a replacement for their struggling boss, Steve Cooper.

Steve Cooper has found it tough to win over Leicester City fans since taking charge in the summer. The Foxes are just three points above the relegation zone, with only one win in their last five games.

Van Nistelrooy recently left Manchester United after Ruben Amorim was appointed as the new manager. During his brief stint as interim boss, he won three out of four games, raising his reputation as a promising manager.

According to The Sun, Leicester’s owners see Van Nistelrooy as a strong candidate to replace Cooper. A decision could be made as early as next week, depending on the team’s results.

Leicester, home to Super Eagles star Wilfred Ndidi, face Chelsea at the King Power Stadium this weekend. With the team’s recent poor form, another defeat could push them closer to the relegation zone, increasing the pressure for change.

Van Nistelrooy’s potential arrival could bring fresh hope to Leicester as they fight to improve their Premier League campaign.
