Leicester City Football Club and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually agreed that Ruud’s contract with the Club as First Team Manager will terminate with immediate effect.

 

Men’s First Team Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and Club mutually agree to terminate contract

 

The Dutchman joined Leicester City in November 2024

 

Ruud has overseen a challenging period for the Club. From his appointment in November 2024, he approached the role with professionalism, integrity and a clear commitment to our aims, including through the integration of several promising players from the Club’s Academy into our First Team environment. Ruud moves on with the respect and thanks of everyone at the Football Club for his dedication and hard work, and with our very best wishes for the future.

 

Ruud commented as follows: “I would like to personally thank the Leicester City players, coaches, academy and all the staff I have worked with for their professionalism and dedication during my time at the Club and to thank the fans for their support, and take this opportunity to wish the Club well for the future.”

 

Preparation for the EFL Championship season will continue with the planned start of pre-season on Monday 30 June. First Team coaching staff will oversee the delivery of those plans until a new manager is appointed.

 

There will be no further comment until this process has been completed.

Tbf i was trying to find the announcement thread

[Leicester_Loyal]

You gotta Rohl with it.

[DennisNedry]

Cool.

[Jon the Hat]

Well I wrote a load of posts about why they must be waiting till the 1st of July for nothing.  

[Tomo260]

Announce Rohl 🤞

[nettle]

About time for fox sake!

[Tommy G]

Didn't see this coming!

[Danno]

Why right now - thought it had to be after July 1st? 

[moore_94]

So have we suddenly managed to get a bit of money from somewhere meaning we could get rid before 1st July?

 

Or taken a lower payment maybe?

Must have agreed to get someone in sharpish then. 

[kyleolly]

Mutually agreed? Do we still have to pay him

"No further comment until we've got the new guy signed" 

 

[Dames]

Strange timing, lends more evidence to the fact they have absolutely 0 clue what they are doing.

[Lewis's Junior]

So not 1st july. Why not 1st June and give the new manager some time!! Odd 

[Devonfox1884]

Before the new financial year - interesting. 
 

Anybody with more knowledge than me know what this means? Perhaps agreed to a lower payoff that we felt could fall in this financial year? 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

11 weeks since we got relegated completely wasted. Another utter failure under King Power and this coward owner. 

[VictorFox]

Thanks for the memories

[TheGoldenGod]

Cemented Top has to go! What was the reason for the delay after all that....

[funkyrobot]

It’s time to bring the ginger Prince back.
