To put it mildly, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s time at Leicester City has been a painful one.
Van Nistelrooy has only won two games and drawn one as the Dutchman enters his tenth game as manager; the other games have all ended in defeat.
Additionally, transfer activity has been sluggish; Leicester has only signed one player this month and has not made any headway on any additional acquisitions.
After a string of incidents that have left Van Nistelrooy upset at Leicester, there are now concerns that, only two months after his appointment, the 48-year-old may be on his way out of the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City’s Ruud van Nistelrooy may depart.
The turmoil behind the scenes at Leicester was described in a piece earlier this week.
Details of conflicts with first-team players were the most prominent part of the piece, and according to a Daily Mail update, Foxes hierarchy members are now concerned that Van Nistelrooy would resign.
The transfer window’s lack of activity—Woyo Coulibaly’s arrival from Parma is the lone signing thus far—is one of his main complaints.
Van Nistelrooy’s “mood has darkened,” according to the Mail, and there are now worries that the 48-year-old would quit the team.
The Leicester manager has already taken this action after resigning from his position as PSV Eindhoven manager due to a lack of board backing.
When Ruud van Nistelrooy joined Leicester, he made his transfer goals obvious.
This month, the Foxes have been talking about transfers—or the lack of them.
Fans were incensed when Tom Cannon left for Sheffield United, and nothing more has happened since.
Only one of the four positions Van Nistelrooy had specified he wanted to improve after being hired—full-back, left-sided center-back, winger, and forward—has been settled thus far, and with less than a week left, Leicester has a limited amount of time to give the manager what he wants and strengthen the team.
