Tuesday, November 12, 2024 - Manchester United have confirmed the departure of club legend, Ruud van Nistelrooy as assistant manager at the club.
Van Nistelrooy was appointed on an interim basis as head
coach after Erik ten Hag was sacked by the Premier League club last month but
Rubem Amorim signed as the new head coach from Sporting Lisbon will be coming
with his own assistants hence no need of Van Nistelrooy who led the team to 3
wins and one draw as interim manager.
Van Nistelrooy oversaw four games as interim boss, in which
United went unbeaten. He took charge of wins over Leicester in the Carabao Cup
and Premier League as well as a UEFA Europa League victory against PAOK and a
league draw with Chelsea.
Coaches Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have
also left United.
The Red Devils released a statement on Monday, November 11
following the arrival of Ruben Amorim in the UK on Monday.
It read: “Manchester United can confirm that Ruud
van Nistelrooy has left the club. Ruud rejoined in the summer and has taken
charge of the team for the past four matches as interim head coach.
"Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester
United legend," a club statement read. “We are grateful for his
contribution and the way in which he has approached his role throughout his
time with the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford.
“Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel
have also departed and we wish them all well for the future.
“We will confirm the full men’s first team
coaching composition in due course.”
