Leicester City have sacked Ruud van Nistelrooy from the head coach position as the man couldn’t avoid relegation from the Premier League. Leicester City could only take 25 points from 38 games and finished 18th on the table. As it was confirmed earlier, but club waited for few days to sack him.
Leicester City have officially parted ways with head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy following the club’s relegation from the Premier League. The former Manchester United striker, who took over at the start of the season, failed to steer the Foxes to safety, with the team collecting just 25 points from 38 matches and finishing 18th in the table.
While reports of Van Nistelrooy’s exit had been circulating since the final matchday, the club took a few days to make the decision official. The disappointing campaign marks a swift fall for Leicester, who had been Premier League champions just eight years ago.
In a brief statement, the club thanked Van Nistelrooy for his efforts but stated that a change was necessary as they prepare for life in the Championship. A search for a new manager is already underway, with Leicester aiming to bounce back immediately to the top flight.
