Legend’s honest confession that left Manchester United for the appointment of a new coach, “I was disappointed, but…”

Leicester City’s new coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy, has finally begun his official duties. In his first press conference since joining Leicester, he frankly said, “I was sick and disappointed that I had to leave Manchester United.”

British media Talk Sports delivered the remarks of Van Nistelrooy, who attended the inauguration ceremony after recently being appointed as Leicester’s new coach. Van Nistelrooy served as a senior coach to assist former Manchester United coach Erik ten Haah this season. When Ten Haah left the team with a poor performance, he temporarily took the helm of Manchester United and played four games. During this period, Manchester United had a good performance of 3 wins and 1 mura and successfully switched to former Sporting Lisbon coach Huven Amorim. However, Van Nistelrooy had to leave Manchester United when Amorim brought in a team of coaches he had worked with during his Sporting days. Van Nistelrooy, who immediately started looking for a job, returned to the EPL 토토사이트 꽁머니 stage immediately after taking the helm of Leicester.

According to the media, Van Nistelrooy said at his first press conference, “What I said when I was interim manager of Manchester United was, ‘I’m here to help Manchester United. I meant it. It was more disappointing and it hurt that I had to leave.”

Van Nistelrooy also said he accepted the fact. “In the end, I understood. I understand the new coach’s position, too. I fully understand because I have been in the soccer field for a long time, and I also have experience as a coach,” he said. “I had conversations with coach Amorim. They expressed gratitude to each other. I also organized my mind and was able to regain my energy.”

Van Nistelrooy watched the match from the stands at Brentford, his first match since taking office. Leicester lost to Brentford 1-4 in the 13th round of the 2024-25 English Premier League. Leicester ranks 16th (10 points), just one point behind the relegation zone (18th-20th). Van Nistelrooy’s official debut match will be at home in the 14th round of the EPL against West Ham on the 4th.
