Van Nistelrooy was fired

Leicester decided to sack Van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy had a difficult season at Leicester. Under his leadership, the "Foxes" won only 5 out of 27 Premier League matches in the 2024/25 season, suffering 19 defeats. The disappointment reached its peak when Leicester were officially relegated 5 rounds early.

Under Van Nistelrooy, Leicester have been criticised for losing their identity. A team that once won the Premier League in a miraculous way now languishes like a shadow of its former self.

Van Nistelrooy's departure has been controversial, with former Leicester striker Matt Fryatt criticising the slow and inconsistent process of sacking Van Nistelrooy from the board.

The Sun revealed that Leicester are planning to delay Van Nistelrooy's sacking until the new accounting period. The "Foxes" could save a significant amount of money by liquidating the former Dutch player's contract early.

Before parting ways with Van Nistelrooy, Leicester also announced the departure of 11 players, including key names such as Jamie Vardy, Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen. Eight other players also left, including Oliver Ewing, Harvey Godsmark-Ford, Ben Grist, Deniche Hill, Liam McAlinney, Arjan Raikhy, Joe Wormleighton and Brad Young.

This is considered a mandatory "overhaul" for the King Power team as they prepare for the new campaign in the English First Division (Championship) season 2025/26.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
