Ruud van Nistelrooy has now had his first game in charge of Leicester City, helping them o defat West Ham United 3-1.
His appointment comes after his dismissal from Manchester United with Ruben Amorim joining as their new head coach.
Erik ten Hag was sacked from United back in October, with van Nistelrooy being promoted from assistant manager to interim manager until Amorim could start.
During his two-week tenure, the Dutchman led United to three wins and a draw in his unbeaten run as manager.
When Amorim arrived, he brought most of his coaching team with him, meaning there was no space at the club for van Nistelrooy.
However, the former striker was not a free agent for long, with both Leicester and Hamburger looking to hire the Dutchman.
Ultimately Leicester won the race, with van Nistelrooy looking to help the newly promoted side remain in the Premier League.
Now, The Sun has reported that van Nistelrooy is looking at raiding his former club to bolster his new squad.

Ruud van Nistelrooy looks to recruit Toby Collyer
The Dutchman is reportedly looking to Manchester United’s Toby Collyer as a January signing to boost the midfield.
Van Nistelrooy wants to bring Collyer in on a loan for the rest of the season.
Whilst United have no interest in selling Collyer, a loan could be a good move for the 20-year-old’s development.
Collyer was expected to break through into the squad this season, however with Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen all fighting for the defensive-midfielder roles, the youngster is yet to get a look-in.
With the links between van Nistelrooy and United, The Red Devils could be open to a loan move, knowing that Collyer would be given first-team opportunities.
