The reason why Leicester City suddenly appointed coach Ruud van Nistelrooy

On November 30, Leicester City officially appointed coach Ruud van Nistelrooy as the team's new coach with a contract until June 2027, replacing coach Steve Cooper who was recently fired. The 48-year-old former Dutch player returned to work in the Premier League just 3 weeks after leaving MU as interim coach.

"Although the result was not a disaster, Leicester's owners wanted to revitalize the team. The former Nottingham Forest manager struggled to find support, but failed. At an early Christmas party, Leicester players were seen celebrating the sacking of manager Steve Cooper and calling out "Enzo Maresca, we miss you," Mail Sport said.

Coach Enzo Maresca helped Leicester revive and return to the Premier League after just one season of relegation. But this coach then joined Chelsea. Meanwhile, Leicester appointed coach Steve Cooper just a few months ago and had to change. Leicester is ranked 16th in the Premier League with 2 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, only 1 point away from the relegation zone.

Therefore, the Thai owners of Leicester City Club decided to act quickly, appointing coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is considered to have similarities with former coach Enzo Maresca, with an attacking approach to the game and flexible tactics.

Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy ended his interim job perfectly at MU nearly 3 weeks ago.

Mr. Nistelrooy led MU in an interim position, but had an unbeaten record with 3 wins and 1 draw in all competitions, helping the team score 11 goals and only concede 3.

"I'm proud and excited. Everyone I've spoken to about Leicester has been very enthusiastic. They have great people," said coach Ruud van Nistelrooy when he officially signed a contract to lead Leicester City.

The first match that coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will directly lead his new team will be against West Ham at 3:15 am on December 4 at King Power Stadium, while this weekend's match against Brentford (10 pm on November 30) will be led by interim coach Ben Dawson.
