- Dutchman ‘proud’ and ‘excited’ to join on deal to 2027
- First game will be against West Ham on Tuesday
Ruud van Nistelrooy has described himself as “proud” and “excited” after being confirmed as the manager of Leicester on a contract to June 2027, less than three weeks after he left Manchester United.
Van Nistelrooy will not take charge of Saturday’s game at Brentford and instead will be in the stands at the Gtech Community Stadium as first-team coach, Ben Dawson, leads the side, supported by the coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes. Van Nistelrooy will be presented by Leicester on Monday and his first game will be at home to West Ham on Tuesday.
