Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has stepped down as head coach of Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven with immediate effect, it has been confirmed.
Appointed as Roger Schmidt's successor last year, the former Netherlands international has quit after claiming that he no longer felt that he had the support of everyone at the club. He had signed a three-year contract prior to the start of this season.
The former Reds ace was given the job after impressing within PSV's youth ranks over several years. He had worked with both the under-17s and under-19s in separate spells at the club.
