Manchester United legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy has become a hotcake following his dismissal from Manchester United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy severed as interim coach for Manchester United following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag. Ruud van Nisterlrooy after taking charge as interim coach led the club to 3 victories out of 4 matches, proving his worth.
However, the club had to let him go following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United’s new head coach, as the Portuguese said he had no place for van Nistelrooy on his team.
Now, days after his dismissal, Ruud van Nistelrooy is said to be in contention for two managerial positions, one in the German Bundesliga 2 and another back in the English Premier League.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg claims Bundesliga 2 team Hamburg are considering appointing Van Nistelrooy as their next head coach.
Following the sacking of Steffen Baumgart this weekend, Hamburg are reportedly looking at Van Nistelrooy, who spent one season at the German team as a player.
The report adds the 48-year-old has been ‘discussed internally’ but according to journalist Rudy Galetti, Leicester City have approached him as well after sacking Steve Cooper on Sunday. It seems the ex-Real Madrid forward is a man in demand.
In Van Nistelrooy’s brief tenure as United’s interim boss, his side beat Leicester twice, PAOK once, and drew with Chelsea. He enjoyed a brief stint as PSV Eindhoven boss between May 2022 and May 2023, winning the KNVB Cup.
Van Nistelrooy is likely to find out whether he will be offered the Leicester or Hamburg job this week, with both clubs desperate to make quick appointments as they look to turn their seasons around.
