Leicester City has appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as new manager.

Ruud van Nistelrooy did not have to wait long for his first official Premier League job.

Leicester City have formally appointed the former Dutch international as their new manager.

The 48-year-old recently received high accolades for acting as Manchester United's temporary manager following the dismissal of compatriot Erik ten Hag.

He had an undefeated record at United (3-1-0) during his brief time on the Old Trafford bench, and the Foxes may have discovered a potential diamond in the making who might help them right the ship quickly.

Van Nistelrooy previously managed Jong PSV, but stepped down due to a lack of support at the Philips Stadion. He now heads to King Power Stadium to face a fresh challenge.

Ruud van Nistelrooy claims he called Enzo Maresca before accepting the LCFC position.📞.

"I have to tell, when the interest arose, the first person I phoned was Enzo. He was very optimistic about it. He thoroughly enjoyed his time. When you hear stuff like this, you want to join the club. I called him and asked extensive questions about the Club, including its structures, staff, squad, stadium, fans, town, and environs. We had a great talk. It's always a pleasure to converse with him.

"The way Leicester City played under Maresca, winning the Championship and advancing to the Premier League, I see that line continuing in those structures and the concept of playing. I can connect to that. I can relate to those frameworks and ways of playing.  

"It is my pleasure to welcome Ruud to Leicester City," said Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, adding, "Ruud's experience, knowledge, and winning mentality will undoubtedly bring great value to us, and we look forward to supporting him in achieving success for our fans and our Club."

The new man weighed in as well, saying, "I'm proud and excited. Every person I speak to about Leicester City Football Club is enthusiastic.

"They have great stories about the quality of the people working at the Club, the supporters and, of course, the recent history of the Club is impressive."

Leicester are just one point above the bottom three and have one of the poorest defensive records in England's top division. He will take up his new role for the first time on Tuesday evening against West Ham at the KP Stadium.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
