Ruud van Nistelrooy's departure as Leicester City manager, anticipated for over nine weeks, has finally been confirmed after a disappointing season that led to the club's relegation. The Dutchman managed only five wins in 27 matches, resulting in criticism of his leadership. The exit, labeled "baffling" by former striker Matt Fryatt, was described as a "mess." As Leicester prepares for its second Championship season in three years, the club is also facing a potential points penalty due to alleged financial breaches, complicating the team's recovery efforts.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's long-expected departure as Leicester City manager has been confirmed more than nine weeks after the Foxes were relegated from the Premier League.
Leicester's relegation was confirmed with five matches of the campaign remaining, but the former PSV Eindhoven boss saw out the season and held on to the job for another month after it concluded.
The protracted nature of Van Nistelrooy's exit, which the Championship club says has been "mutually agreed", was called "baffling" and summed up as "a mess" by former Foxes striker Matt Fryatt in early June.
Not only are the club now looking to regroup for their second season in the Championship in three years, and are also facing a potential points penalty for the upcoming season.
