“SHOCKING REVELATION: Leicester City in SECRET TALKS with Ruud van Nistelrooy for MANAGER ROLE – You WON’T Believe What’s Next!”

Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly set to leave his role as manager of relegated Leicester City.

According to a Daily Mail exclusive, the club is in advanced discussions with Russell Martin to replace him.

The Mail reports that van Nistelrooy’s future has remained uncertain since Leicester’s relegation was confirmed.

While the Dutchman has been involved in preparing for the upcoming Championship season over the past two months, he is said to be frustrated by the lack of communication from the club’s leadership.

Sources indicate that talks with Martin have continued this week and are expected to conclude soon.

If appointed, this would mark the 39-year-old’s first managerial role since being dismissed by Southampton in December.

Van Nistelrooy took charge at the King Power Stadium on a two-and-a-half-year contract after Steve Cooper was sacked in November.

At that point, the Foxes were hovering just above the Premier League’s relegation zone.

However, a string of poor performances ultimately saw them drop back into the Championship, with a 3-1 home loss to champions Liverpool on April 20 sealing their fate.

If Martin is confirmed as Leicester’s new manager, he will inherit a challenging situation.

The club faces fresh Premier League charges over financial breaches during the 2023/24 season, potentially resulting in a points deduction.

While Leicester previously avoided sanctions for similar violations in the 2022/23 campaign, those proceedings have now concluded, allowing the league to pursue new action.

Leicester have been hit with three fresh charges concerning their most recent financial accounts.

These will be reviewed by an independent commission, and a guilty verdict could see the team start the Championship season with a points deficit—placing further pressure on a club already in turmoil.
