According to reports in England, Ruud van Nistelrooy is on the verge of becoming Leicester City's new manager following the sacking of Steve Cooper. The Dutchman, who impressed during his stint as interim manager at Manchester United last season, is set to bring fresh ideas to a struggling Foxes side.

Van Nistelrooy's managerial stock has risen significantly after his brief yet impactful tenure at Old Trafford, where he steadied the ship and guided the team to several important victories before being replaced by Ruben Amorim.
His ability to galvanise a squad and implement a clear attacking philosophy has made him an attractive option for Leicester's board. The Foxes have endured a difficult campaign, prompting the decision to part ways with Cooper, who leaves with the team languishing near the relegation zone.
The club's board sees Van Nistelrooy as the ideal candidate to reignite their season and bring stability to the King Power Stadium. According to reports in England, negotiations between the 48-year-old and Leicester are believed to be at an advanced stage, with both parties confident of finalising the deal in the coming days.
The former striker is reportedly eager to take on the challenge of managing in the Premier League, a league he dominated as a player during his time at Manchester United. Leicester fans will be hoping that the Dutchman can replicate the success he enjoyed on the pitch in his managerial role.
