Leicester City Parts Ways With Van Nistelrooy

Ruud van Nistelrooy has left his position as Leicester City manager by mutual consent after the club was relegated from the Premier League, having been appointed in November 2024. He managed only six wins in 27 games, with the team finishing 18th and suffering a record nine consecutive home matches without scoring. The decision to part ways followed weeks of speculation and frustration over his future, as his tenure was seen as disastrous for both the club and his reputation. Leicester's struggles were compounded by financial constraints, a poorly constructed squad, and Premier League charges. Preparations for the upcoming Championship season will proceed under interim coaching staff while a search for a new permanent manager continues. Van Nistelrooy expressed gratitude to the club, players, and fans as he departed.
