    Van Nistelrooy Targets Premier League Survival As Leicester’s New Boss

    Newly-appointed manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is aiming to bring a sense of positivity to Leicester City and quickly make an impression on the Premier League club’s players, as he looks to ensure that they remain in the English top flight.

    The former Manchester United striker was appointed on Friday to replace Steve Cooper and will need to hit the ground running, with the 16th -placed club hovering just point above the relegation zone after three straight league defeats.

    Asked if the players needed to be picked up, Van Nistelrooy told reporters: “That is what needed to be done. Sunday was the first time that I was here. Was it yesterday? It feels longer.

    “I had a meeting with the players and it was the first thing to address,” added the Dutchman, speaking ahead of a home match against West Ham United today.

    “The situation we’re in, the challenge that we face, and what’s necessary to get out of that situation.

    “In two days it’s difficult to make a lot of changes, but we have started to make changes in the style of play, training sessions, structure, little by little starting to build a foundation of a highly motivated team who can compete in this league.”

    Leicester have a tough run of fixtures coming up in December including matches against Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester City.

    Leicester enjoyed a stunning Premier League title success in 2016 but were relegated in 2023 before coming straight back up under Enzo Maresca, who then left to join Chelsea.

    Van Nistelrooy said Maresca, who he played with at Malaga, played a key role in him taking the Leicester job.

    “You’re curious about the people who work there and Enzo, being a great friend and former teammate, he was the first one to call,” he added.
