Ruud Van Nistelrooy Set To Be Named Manager Of Premier League Club

Dutch tactician, Ruud van Nistelrooy has emerged as a leading candidate for the managerial position at Leicester City following the recent departure of Steve Cooper.

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.
