Ruud van Nistelrooy to Be Sacked by Leicester After Relegation
Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to part ways with the club following their relegation from the Premier League.
According to Mail Sport, the former Manchester United striker will step down after Sunday’s final game of the season, with former Southampton boss Russell Martin lined up as his likely replacement.
Van Nistelrooy managed just five wins in 26 Premier League matches during his brief stint in charge, and the club’s drop to the Championship has accelerated the push for a managerial change, with Leicester keen to bring in a more experienced hand to guide them back to the top flight.
He will oversee his final game this weekend as the Foxes visit Bournemouth, who are still in the hunt for European qualification.
The squad will be without veteran striker Jamie Vardy, who has already played his last match for the club, marking the end of an era for both player and manager.
