Premier League
PUBLICIDAD
Ruud Van Nistelrooy is no longer the coach of Leicester City. The English club has decided to part ways with his services just one month after the end of the Premier League season, which concluded with the 'foxes' relegation to the Championship. His departure was expected, yet it is not any less significant, as it marks the end of a period that will be remembered for the poor results achieved.
The Dutch coach arrived in November 2024 to replace Steve Cooper, but his arrival did not manage to change the team's negative dynamic. Under his guidance, Leicester could only secure four wins, two of them when the relegation was already confirmed. In addition, they suffered three draws and a staggering 18 defeats, leaving a devastating record. Offensively, the drought was also concerning: the team went nine consecutive home games without scoring.
A New Coach is Being Sought
Van Nistelrooy bid farewell with words of gratitude towards the squad, club staff, and fans, wishing them luck for the future. However, his time at the helm of the King Power Stadium has been a tough blow for a fanbase that not long ago was celebrating a historic Premier League title.
Leicester City Football Club and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually agreed that Ruud's contract with the Club as First Team Manager will terminate with immediate effect.
