Ruud van Nistelrooy is a hot topic right now, with several clubs looking to appoint the Manchester United legend.
After his brief second stint at Old Trafford, van Nistelrooy appears to have now found his next club, remaining in England.
The former striker joined United in the summer as the club overhauled the coaching staff to support Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag narrowly avoided getting the sack earlier in the summer, with the desire to stand by him being felt by the club’s executives.
However, a matter of months later and ten Hag found himself being shown the door, with van Nistelrooy being promoted from assistant manager to interim manager.
Having only four games in charge, until Ruben Amorim started his role, there was little pressure on the Dutchman, however, he didn’t disappoint.
With three wins and a draw to his name, van Nistelrooy left the club as an unbeaten manager, now looking at his next venture.

Reports expressed interest from Hamburger SV to bring the striker back to his former club, with the man himself applying for the managerial role at Coventry City, missing out to Frank Lampard.
However, The Telegraph, as reported by Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as Leicester’s new manager.
He’ll be replacing Steve Coogan who was sacked after their 2-1 loss to former manager Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea.
However, this wasn’t the first time Leicester looked into hiring the legendary striker, having shown interest in the summer before he joined United.
