Ruud van Nistelrooy is on the verge of becoming Leicester City’s new manager, according to reports. The 48-year-old is available after leaving Manchester United earlier this month following the club’s decision to replace Erik ten Hag with Ruben Amorim.

Former Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has swiftly secured a new role, taking the reins at Leicester City. The appointment comes after a short period without a managerial position.
