Nistelrooy's uncertain future

At 48, Van Nistelrooy admits that this coaching job is much more difficult than expected.

“It’s really disappointing,” Van Nistelrooy said after the game. “Over the past few weeks we’ve been fighting for every little bit of hope. Now we need to continue to make the most of the remaining games to finish the season in the best possible way.”

On the evening of April 20, Leicester City was officially relegated, returning to the Championship after losing 0-1 to Liverpool at home. "Van Gol" also revealed that he is still unclear about his future at the club.

Van Nistelrooy took over at the Foxes from Steve Cooper in November, but the Dutchman has managed just two wins in 21 Premier League games.

Asked about his future, Van Nistelrooy, who is contracted to Leicester until 2027, said: “I am focused on my job, doing the best for the future and next season. Performances like against Brighton and Liverpool show that the players are ready to work. We have to take responsibility, and that is what I am doing for the next five weeks. Then we will see.”

The Dutchman also revealed that there is no specific timetable for discussions with the club's board, but hopes that talks about his future will take place soon. In 21 games under the guidance of "Van Gol", Leicester have only won 8 points, compared to 10 points in 12 games under his predecessor Cooper.

Leicester became the first team in the history of the English top flight to go nine consecutive home games without scoring, with their last home goal coming in December last year. However, Van Nistelrooy insists he has no regrets about his time at Leicester City.

The former Manchester United star said: “I do everything for the good of the club, so no, I don’t want to change. My job is to make decisions before the game, not after the game. Then you can judge whether the decision is good or not. The decisions I make with everyone at the club are all aimed at one goal: to bring points. I have no regrets about that.”
