Ruud van Nistelrooy, recognized as one of football's greatest finishers, is currently facing challenges as the manager of Leicester City. After a successful career scoring 150 goals for Manchester United, he transitioned to coaching, achieving notable success with PSV and the Dutch national team. Although Leicester's squad struggles in the Premier League, Van Nistelrooy's coaching has proven valuable, notably influencing young players like Joel Piroe. His training emphasizes striker techniques, positioning, and understanding defenders, showcasing his ability to develop talent despite current difficulties.
At PSV, I often had striker training from Ruud. He trained us well on what to do and what to expect. That is perhaps a bit understated with him.
He was unbeaten in his four games in charge of Manchester United as interim head coach and won the Dutch Cup in 2023 as manager of PSV.
