Leicester City has confirmed that manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will leave the club after a disappointing season that resulted in relegation from the Premier League. The team struggled significantly, winning only six games before ultimately sacking previous manager Steve Cooper in November and hiring Van Nistelrooy. Despite hopes of avoiding relegation under his leadership, the club's performance failed to improve. In a statement, Van Nistelrooy expressed gratitude to the players, staff, and fans, wishing the club the best for the future as they prepare for the Championship kickoff against Sheffield Wednesday on August 10.
"I would like to personally thank the Leicester City players, coaches, academy and all the staff I have worked with for their professionalism and dedication during my time at the club and to thank the fans for their support, and take this opportunity to wish the club well for the future."
"Despite the challenges of the season, I have great respect for the club and its ambitions moving forward, and I am confident they will rebound from this setback."
