Van Nistelrooy makes Premier League history in an unusual way. In which way?
Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy didn’t stay jobless for long and has officially been appointed as the new head coach of Leicester City.
After this appointment, the Dutchman has entered Premier League history in a highly unusual way.
Details: Van Nistelrooy secured two victories over Leicester earlier this season while serving as Manchester United's interim manager. The "Red Devils" thrashed the "Foxes" 3-0 in the Premier League and 5-2 in the Carabao Cup.
He has now become the first manager in the history of the English top flight to defeat a team twice in the same season and later take charge of that same club.
Reminder: During the transitional period between Erik ten Hag’s departure and Ruben Amorim’s arrival, Van Nistelrooy performed admirably as United's interim boss, remaining unbeaten in four matches.
