After a brief tenure at Manchester United where Ruud van Nistelrooy served as interim manager following Erik ten Hag's departure, he was not retained when Ruben Amorim took charge. This decision left van Nistelrooy devastated, as he had expressed his desire to remain at the club and work in a role he loved. Just a few weeks later, Leicester City has emerged as a potential destination for van Nistelrooy following the dismissal of Steve Cooper after a poor result against Chelsea. Alongside other candidates like Graham Potter and David Moyes, he has become a notable name considered for the managerial vacancy at the struggling Premier League club. Van Nistelrooy's previous coaching experience includes leading PSV Eindhoven to domestic success, highlighting his capability to manage at a high level.
