Ruud van Nistelrooy has made a triumphant start to his managerial career at Leicester City, guiding the Foxes to a 3-1 Premier League victory over West Ham on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old Dutchman, who had a brief stint as Manchester United’s interim boss earlier this season, took charge of Leicester City after leaving Old Trafford following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as the Red Devils’ new head coach.
Van Nistelrooy’s winning start at Leicester has drawn praise from football fans on social media, with some also criticising Manchester United’s decision to let him go in favour of Amorim.
While it is early days for both Van Nistelrooy and Amorim, the two coaches have enjoyed a promising start to their respective tenures. However, with Leicester City still lingering near the relegation zone and Manchester United sitting ninth in the Premier League table, it remains to be seen whether both clubs have made the right decision in appointing these two coaches.
Leicester City, who have climbed to 15th place with the win, will host high-flying Brighton on Sunday, while Manchester United travel to a resurgent Arsenal side on Wednesday night.
