The latest Leicester City news as Ruud van Nistelrooy prepares to lead the new era starting tonight against West Ham United

Steve Cooper has nearly twice the points in his 1st 12 Premier League games at Leicester City as he did at Nottingham Forest, but without fan support, his sacking was coming.

Leicester City have parted ways with manager Steve Cooper, the Premier League club confirmed in a statement on Sunday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy says it hurt to leave Manchester United in November after an interim period in charge of the side. The 48-year-old, who replaced Steve Cooper as Leicester City manager last week, left Old Trafford last month after the appointment of Ruben Amorim.

After his brief but impactful stint as interim Manchester United manager came to an end following the arrival of Ruben Amorim, it wasn't long until former Dutch international Ruud van Nistelrooy was back in a job.

Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy says he was left disappointed and hurt by having to leave Manchester United last month. The 48-year-old was assistant to Erik ten Hag before stepping up to interim boss when his fellow Dutchman was dismissed.

New Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy admitted he was “astonished” at options that arose from his short stint as interim coach at Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy takes charge of his first game since replacing the sacked Steve Cooper on Tuesday night when the Foxes take on West Ham United at the King Power Stadium.
