Ruud van Nistelrooy confirms Leicester have added Premier League title winner to coaching staff.

Leicester City have endured a dreadful run of form, losing nine of their last ten Premier League matches, which has dragged them into the relegation zone.

Now two points from safety, these are the crucial games Ruud van Nistelrooy must win to secure their top-flight survival.

Despite a commendable performance against Arsenal last time out, defensive errors proved costly for Van Nistelrooy’s side. Clearly, changes are needed.

In response, Van Nistelrooy confirmed in today’s press conference that one of Leicester’s former Premier League title winners has joined his coaching staff.

Andy King Joins Leicester’s First-Team Coaching Staff

Speaking on Wednesday, Van Nistelrooy announced that Andy King has been promoted to the first-team coaching setup.

The former Leicester midfielder, who lifted the Premier League title with the club, has been coaching the under-18s since retiring last year.

His understanding of the club, combined with his coaching expertise, has impressed Van Nistelrooy, who frequently observed him at Seagrave.

Eager to integrate King into the senior setup, Van Nistelrooy hopes his experience will aid the first team and help develop young academy prospects.

King Could Help Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans Break Into the First Team

Leicester’s management believes King’s promotion will strengthen the pathway between the academy and the senior squad.

With promising talents like Jake Evans and Jeremy Monga on the brink of their first-team debuts, King’s guidance could prove crucial in easing their transition.

Developing young players requires careful monitoring, particularly when they step up to senior football. Having an experienced figure like King around should be a valuable asset for Van Nistelrooy.

Furthermore, King’s extensive playing career at Leicester gives him a unique perspective. He understands exactly what it takes to restore the club to former glories, making his insight invaluable.
