Leicester City is reportedly preparing to part ways with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy after a dismal run of just four wins in 24 matches. Despite his contract running until 2027, the Foxes are seeking a fresh start following their relegation.
According to talkSPORT, Bristol City boss Liam Manning is being considered as a potential replacement. Manning, 39, has impressed in his first full season with the Robins, guiding the club to their first Championship play-offs in 17 years. Bristol clinched sixth place after a dramatic 2-2 comeback draw against Preston, edging out Blackburn for the final spot. The Robins will now face Sheffield United in the play-off semi-finals, hoping for a historic promotion to the Premier League.
Manning, who temporarily stepped away from his role following the tragic death of his newborn son, remains a popular and resilient figure. Meanwhile, Van Nistelrooy awaits clarity on his future, urging Leicester to decide soon to help the club plan ahead.
