Leicester City have joined the race to sign one of Spain’s most exciting talents as the Foxes look to hand incoming boss Ruud van Nistelrooy additional firepower.
Leicester appoint Van Nistelrooy
Less than a week after the departure of Steve Cooper in the wake of Leicester’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, the Midlands outfit announced that Ruud van Nistelrooy would take charge at the King Power Stadium.
The Dutchman, whose only experience of the Premier League came in a four-game interim spell with Manchester United earlier in the month, has been deemed the right man to steer the Foxes away from the relegation zone this season, as five losses in their last six games threaten to derail a promising start to the campaign.
“I’m proud, I’m excited,” he told the Leicester City website after his arrival was announced.
“Everybody that I speak to about Leicester City Football Club is enthusiastic, has great stories about the quality of the people working at the Club, the supporters, also of course, the recent history of the Club is impressive. I’m dead excited to start and to get to know everyone and give everything I can for the Football Club.”
Van Nistelrooy has penned a contract until June 2027 at the King Power Stadium, and will take charge for the first time in their midweek clash with West Ham United, having beaten the Foxes twice during his time with Manchester United.
Now, the owners seem keen to back their man, and are readying a move for a new forward in the new year.
