Van Nistelrooy surprised by attention after leaving Manchester United

Ruud van Nistelrooy, after leading Manchester United as interim head coach for just four matches, left a positive impression on the English football audience, attracting an unusually high level of attention.

Details: The newly appointed Leicester City head coach admitted that his achievements at PSV Eindhoven went largely unnoticed, despite winning trophies there. In contrast, his brief stint at Old Trafford garnered widespread interest after only four games.

Quote: "What happened after those matches, the interest, and the opportunities that suddenly opened up for me, I was a bit surprised. It was just four games, whereas at PSV I completed a full season, managed to win the cup and the super cup, worked as a coach with the national team and the Dutch squad, and that never caused such a reaction in the football world.

This time, the reaction was different, and I was happy about it. I had discussions with various parties and was able to make a decision that was truly the best for me. I’m delighted to be here," Van Nistelrooy told Sky Sports.
