Ruud van Nistelrooy has quit his role at PSV Eindhoven out of the blue despite recently underlining his desire to remain at the Dutch club.
The former Manchester United striker took charge of PSV, where he played between 1998 and 2001, back in March last year and has delivered two pieces of silverware in his short tenure. PSV have missed on the Eredivisie title, finishing second to Feyenoord.
Van Nistelrooy has now walked out before the season's end citing a "lack of support" from the board as his reasoning. It leaves him without a job and his assistant, Fred Rutten, taking over on a temporary basis. The Dutchman had done work in the youth ranks but his role with PSV was his first attempt at taking the top job.
