Ruud van Nistelrooy's Future at Leicester City in Doubt After Relegation
Ruud van Nistelrooy's position as Leicester City manager is uncertain following the club's relegation from the Premier League.




Ruud van Nistelrooy has expressed uncertainty about his future as the manager of Leicester City after the club's relegation from the Premier League. The Foxes' 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at the King Power Stadium last weekend sealed their fate, marking their second relegation in three seasons.
Under van Nistelrooy's leadership, Leicester managed only eight points from 20 matches, a performance that has left fans and the board questioning his ability to lead the team forward. The Dutchman, who signed a three-year deal in November 2024, has already met with the club's owners to discuss the future.
"I know what my plan is to bring the club back, but I am waiting on alignment," van Nistelrooy stated. "The quicker the better for the football club."
The atmosphere at Leicester has been tense, with a light aircraft flying over the stadium before the Liverpool match, trailing a banner that read, "King Power Clueless Sack The Board." This protest highlights the growing discontent among the fanbase.
Leicester's next match is against Wolves at Molineux on Saturday at 15:00 BST. The outcome of this game could further influence the board's decision regarding van Nistelrooy's tenure.
