Leicester City has announced the departure of manager Ruud van Nistelrooy following the team's relegation from the Premier League. Appointed midway through the 2024-25 season, Van Nistelrooy's tenure was plagued by poor performance, achieving only four wins in 25 matches and a win rate of just 16%. His era included historic lows, such as two seven-game losing streaks and a record nine consecutive home losses without scoring. He thanked the players, staff, and fans in his farewell message, highlighting their professionalism and support during his time at the club.
Leicester's relegation was confirmed with five matches of the season remaining, marking one of the earlier points in history for such a drop in Premier League.
Van Nistelrooy managed only four victories in 25 Premier League matches, leading to a disappointing win rate of 16% and scoring only 17 goals.
He became the first manager since 1958-59 to oversee two seven-game losing streaks in a single top-flight season.
Van Nistelrooy expressed gratitude to the Leicester City players, coaches, and fans, stating he appreciated their professionalism and support during his tenure.
