Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly poised to take over as head coach at struggling Premier League side Leicester City. Talks are progressing positively, as Leicester looks to fill the managerial vacancy left by Steve Cooper, who was sacked after a disappointing run. Van Nistelrooy, who previously managed PSV Eindhoven, has a connection with Leicester through his recent role as interim head coach for Manchester United during which he faced them twice, achieving a 5-2 and 3-0 victory.
Leicester City is currently sitting 16th in the Premier League standings, just one point above the relegation zone, following their recent loss to Chelsea. The club decided to part ways with Steve Cooper only 15 games into his tenure, illustrating the urgency for change to avoid further slipping into the relegation battle. Under Cooper, the team struggled to find any consistent form, prompting the search for a new leader as they aim for a turnaround.
