Ruud van Nistelrooy, renowned for his prolific goal-scoring during his playing career, is poised to be appointed Leicester City manager after Cooper was relieved of his duties on Sunday.
The decision came in the wake of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Chelsea at home, a result that left the Foxes languishing in 16th place on the Premier League table after 12 matches.
Cooper’s tenure at Leicester City was marked by challenges, and his sack reflects the club’s urgent need for change.
Van Nistelrooy, during his brief time as interim manager for Manchester United, secured two victories against Leicester, showcasing his competitive edge and familiarity with the team.
The former striker has a solid managerial background, having previously led PSV Eindhoven, where he achieved significant success by winning the domestic cup in 2023.
His experience in the top tier of Dutch football has garnered attention, and he has openly expressed his long-term ambition to manage Manchester United, currently under the guidance of Ruben Amorim.
His potential appointment at Leicester City signals a promising juncture in his coaching career and could bring fresh perspectives and strategies to the team in their fight for Premier League survival.
