Ruud van Nistelrooy sack hint dropped as Leicester eye next manager

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s position as Leicester City manager is under scrutiny, with the team struggling to avoid relegation. Despite this, the club’s owners are unlikely to sack him due to financial constraints. Leicester City’s owner, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, has stated that the club cannot afford to pay off another manager, which would put a strain on their already difficult financial situation ¹.

Van Nistelrooy has only been in charge for a short period, replacing Steve Cooper in December. However, the team’s performance has not improved significantly under his leadership, with only two wins from 10 matches ². This has led to speculation about his future at the club, with some pundits questioning whether he is the right man for the job ².

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Van Nistelrooy’s position, the club’s owners have expressed their support for him. Srivaddhanaprabha has praised Van Nistelrooy’s experience, knowledge, and winning mentality, and has backed him to succeed ¹. However, with Leicester City’s relegation battle intensifying, the pressure on Van Nistelrooy is likely to increase.
