Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester City by ‘mutual’ consent, the club said on Friday, after the Dutchman oversaw a disastrous second half to the season that ended in relegation from the Premier League.
Van Nistelrooy replaced Steve Cooper at the end of November, joining the Foxes on a deal that was set to last until June 2027. However, he will leave the club two years early after failing to improve the side’s fortunes.
