Ruud awakening! Man Utd legend Van Nistelrooy set to be sacked by Leicester after Premier League relegation with replacement already lined up

<p>According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14734515/Ruud-van-Nistelrooy-leave-Leicester-relegation-Foxes-Premier-League.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail,</em></a><em> </em>Leicester are on the verge of a managerial change, with former Southampton boss Russell Martin expected to be named as their new head coach. Ongoing discussions between Martin and Leicester's board have progressed steadily and are now nearing completion.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Meanwhile, Van Nistelrooy, who had been working behind the scenes to prepare the club for life in England’s second tier, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-slammed-leicester-fans-humiliating-defeat-brentford-man-utd-legend-chopping-block/blt0eb97b9a60312d86" target="_blank">has grown increasingly disillusioned </a>with the lack of communication from the club's top brass. Despite his efforts, he has reportedly been kept in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-statement-leicester-city-future-reveals-meeting-club-owners-premier-league-relegation/blt3f42e89f05f8398e" target="_blank">the dark about his position</a>, which has left him in a state of uncertainty.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Adding to Leicester's off-pitch complications is a looming financial issue that could significantly impact the club's new campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-au/lists/leicester-misery-foxes-another-points-deduction-psr-rule-breaches-relegation-championship/blt68563dff2c3343f8" target="_blank">The Foxes have been referred to an independent commission following allegations of breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR)</a> during the 2023–24 season. This latest charge has emerged after a lengthy arbitration process, with legal debates surrounding which governing body - either the EFL or Premier League - has authority over the case. If found guilty, Leicester could face a points deduction next season, adding further pressure on the incoming manager and the squad.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With Van Nistelrooy likely on his way out, the club's focus appears to have moved towards appointing a manager with Championship experience rather than taking a chance on a high-profile name. Martin's proven record in navigating the rigours of the Championship with Southampton could be pivotal. His ability to unite a squad and push for promotion under pressure will be essential, particularly if Leicester begin the campaign at a disadvantage due to a PSR-related penalty.</p>
