Leicester City has recently appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as their new manager, and the Dutchman couldn’t be more thrilled about the opportunity. Van Nistelrooy, who has a storied career as a prolific striker, is now set to take on his second managerial role after previously managing PSV Eindhoven.
In a recent statement, Van Nistelrooy expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, saying, “I’m proud, I’m excited. Everybody that I speak to about Leicester City Football Club is enthusiastic. The recent history of the club is impressive. I’m excited to start and to get to know everyone and give everything I can for the football club.”
Van Nistelrooy’s appointment comes after a brief spell as interim manager at Manchester United, where he led the team to two victories over Leicester in the Carabao Cup and Premier League. His impressive performance during that period caught the attention of Leicester’s hierarchy, leading to his appointment.
The 48-year-old manager is eager to work with the squad and build on the club’s recent successes, including their Premier League title win in 2015/16 and their FA Cup victory. He also looks forward to collaborating with the experienced captain Jamie Vardy, whom he admires greatly.
Van Nistelrooy will officially take charge of his first match on Tuesday against West Ham United, following a watching brief for Leicester’s match at Brentford on Saturday. With his wealth of experience and winning mentality, Leicester City fans have high hopes for the future under his leadership.
The club’s chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, expressed confidence in Van Nistelrooy’s ability to bring success to the team, stating, “Ruud’s experience, knowledge, and winning mentality will undoubtedly bring great value to us, and we look forward to supporting him in achieving success for our fans and our club.”
As Van Nistelrooy embarks on this new chapter, both he and the fans are optimistic about what the future holds for Leicester City.
