Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester City following the Foxes' recent relegation from the Premier League. The Dutchman had been in charge of the club's under-23 side and was promoted to the senior managerial role in February, but has now departed the King Power Stadium on a mutual agreement.
The mutual agreement between Van Nistelrooy and Leicester City brings an end to the former striker's brief tenure as manager of the first team. Having proven himself in elite football as a player, the Dutchman transitioned into management with AZ Alkmaar in his home country before taking on the under-23s role at Leicester City. His impressive work with the young Foxes earned him a quick promotion to the senior team after the club's descent into the Championship was confirmed.
Van Nistelrooy's tenure in the spotlight was short-lived, as the club has now confirmed that both parties have come to a mutual agreement to go their separate ways. It looks like Van Nistelrooy will be remembered as a romantic experiment gone wrong, as the club seeks more experienced heads to guide them back to England's top flight.
The King Power Stadium looks set to remain a turbulent place in the seasons to come, with rumours of ownership changes and further managerial shuffles expected as the club tries to find its footing after a disastrous campaign.
These developments leave Leicester City fans wondering who will be the next manager to lead them in their quest to return to the Premier League.
