The latest LCFC news
Something has to give on Filbert Way very soon. As soon as Ruud van Nistelrooy is sacked as Leicester City manager, it is said that the Foxes have their choice lined up. And the Dutchman should be gone by Tuesday, July 1. That's if the estimations from outlets and journalists are accurate. In fact, some of those media companies have gone one step further and named the person who will take over from the former PSV Eindhoven and Manchester United man. City 'will look to appoint this man', suggests the lastest report on the matter. Who is this mystery manager LCFC have in mind? And is he the right candidate to lead us back to the Premier League promised land?
Financial situation and rules holding Foxes back
Many journalists, pundits and so-called in the know experts believe LCFC bosses would have already relieved RvN of his King Power duties if they could have. Money and regulations are said to be the reasons for inactivity.
However on July 1, records pass over for a new economic year. This means City could potentially include any compensation for van Nistelrooy in next year's budget. Not to mention fees to hire a new head coach being offset.
As soon as Ruud van Nistelrooy sacked, Leicester City will look to appoint this manager
So we can probably expect the 48-year-old not to be in charge of Leicester for 2025/26. This leaves a managerial gap. And the position could be filled by Sean Dyche, the one-time Burnley and then Everton boss. Maybe his organisation is what's needed at the King Power!
"Sean Dyche is the leading candidate for Leicester,"Ex-chief Man United scout
Mick Brown, who worked as Sir Alex Ferguson's chief scout, claims Dyche is the leading LCFC candidate. They will 'look to bring the latter in' as soon as van Nistelrooy departs, to paraphrase. Brown notes the 53-year-old's previous Championship success.
