We have potentially important Leicester City news for the Blue Army on this summer Sunday afternoon. And the update concerns the possible next boss at King Power Stadium. Information has also emerged on Ruud van Nistelrooy's standing on Filbert Way. And that likely realistic speculation is negative for the out of favour Dutchman. But, most importantly, there's a new bookmakers' favourite in the Foxes manager race. Interestingly, he has a seeming connection at LCFC.
Ruud van Nistelrooy on borrowed time at the King Power
It didn't work out for van Nistelrooy at Leicester, we all know that. And it appears as though the former Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven man will not be given more time. That's if we believe outlets such as The Sun.
If certain assurances are offered to him by City bosses such as Jon Rudkin and Khun Top, RvN would like to continue at LCFC. He revealed his vision ready for the upcoming challenging Championship campaign.
Though it is said that van Nistelrooy was never given the opportunity to state his claim. I must admit, I do not agree with the way the Leicester board have dealt with, or ignored, the 48-year-old.
A new favourite emerges in Leicester City manager race and he has a Foxes connection
Sean Dyche leads the contenders vying to become the latest Leicester chief. Readers more than likely recall the 53-year-old from his pretty successful spells at Burnley and Everton.
The Clarets in particular felt the helping hand of the no-nonsense gaffer; they actually played in Europe under Dyche. The City fan base are seemingly split with regards to faith in their prospective new leader. Yet he has a friend in LE2:

Dyche is the new favourite to take over from Ruud van Nistelrooy at the King Power Stadium, whose future is in considerable doubt ahead of the Championship campaign."
If you want my verdict, I think we could do a lot worse than Dyche. Although he won't be spectacular. However, The Athletic's Rob Tanner suggested the former's wages may thwart an agreement.
