This was crucial to Leicester&#8217;s managerial hunt and it will mark a new era at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutchman actually beat the East Midlands side twice during his four-game spell as interim boss at Old Trafford. First in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/carabao-cup-quarter-final-draw-in-full-as-tottenham-host-manchester-united\/\">Carabao Cup<\/a>, then in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>He replaced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/how-much-will-sacking-erik-ten-hag-cost-manchester-united\/\">Erik ten Hag<\/a> on a temporary basis, who was sacked due to the club&#8217;s worst ever start to a season last month.<\/p>\n<p>Last season&#8217;s Championship winners were keen to move quickly during their search for a new manager and it looks as if Van Nistelrooy will be in the dugout for their away trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/brentford-2024-25-fixtures-for-premier-league-fa-cup-league-cup\/\">Brentford<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>However, it won&#8217;t be an easy start to life in Leicester for the ex-PSV manager. The Foxes face West Ham, Brighton, Newcastle and Wolves before Christmas. A Boxing Day trip to Anfield follows, then they host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/manchester-city-2024-25-fixtures-for-premier-league-champions-league-fa-cup-league-cup\/\">Manchester City<\/a> on December 29th.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Ruud Van Nistelrooy Gamble Pay Off for Leicester?<\/h2>\n<p>Van Nistelrooy may be considered a risky appointment, but so was Enzo Maresca when Leicester were relegated to the second tier in 2023. The Dutchman led PSV to KNVB Cup glory in the 2022-23 season before leaving near to the end of the season. His most recent job saw him at Man United, first as assistant to Ten Hag, then interim manager before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/ruben-amorim-right-guy-man-united-jose-mourinho-message\/\">Ruben Amorim<\/a> took over.<\/p>\n<p>The 48-year-old also has coaching experience on an international level. He was on Ronald Koeman&#8217;s management team during Euro 2020, where the Netherlands made it to the Round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>Van Nistelrooy&#8217;s first task will be a trip to Brentford on Saturday, a side the Foxes have not lost too since 1953. With plenty of football left to be played this season, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/new\/\">best UK betting sites<\/a> price Leicester at 8\/15 to be relegated.<\/p>\n<h3>Leicester City&#8217;s Next Ten Fixtures<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Brentford vs Leicester &#8211; 30th November<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs West Ham &#8211; 3rd December<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs Brighton &#8211; 8th December<\/li>\n<li>Newcastle vs Leicester &#8211; 14th December<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs Wolves &#8211; 22nd December<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool vs Leicester &#8211; 26th December<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs Man City &#8211; 29th December<\/li>\n<li>Aston Villa vs Leicester &#8211; 4th January<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs Crystal Palace &#8211; 15th January<\/li>\n<li>Leicester vs Fulham &#8211; 18th January<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruud van Nistelrooy will be announced as the new Leicester City manager on Thursday, just weeks after temporarily managing Manchester United.\u00a0 Leicester City Close In On Ruud Van Nistelrooy Appointment The ex-Manchester United forward has held talks with Leicester City bosses this week and is expected to be announced as their new manager on Thursday.
