We are facing the worst crisis.
Leicester City lost to Aston Villa 1-2 in the 20th round of the English Premier League in the 2024-25 season at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 5th (Korea time). Leicester gave Ross Barkley the first goal in the 13th minute of the second half. Steph Mabidi's equalizer immediately balanced it, but it collapsed after allowing Leon Bailey of Aston Villa the winner.
As a result, Leicester City has lost five consecutive league games recently. Leicester City is on the verge of being demoted as it ranks 19th in the league with three wins, five draws and 12 losses (14 points). 스포츠토토
Naturally, questions are raised against coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy had one win and one draw since his appointment as Leicester manager in December last year. At the time, Leicester had no win in six official matches right before Van Nistelrooy was appointed as coach. However, when Van Nistelrooy took the helm, the team saw its team win in two matches without losing.
As a result, critics say that Van Nistelrooy has begun to create a miracle. However, the miracle was brief now. Van Nistelrooy, who has lost five consecutive games, is having difficulties in the Premier League competition.
Van Nistelrooy was well known as one of the world's best strikers when he was a player. He has close relationship with Korean players. When he was with Manchester United, he tied the knot with Park Ji-sung. Then, he played the role of mentor to Son Heung-min, who was considered a promising player at the time, in Hamburg, Germany.
Van Nistelrooy then took off his soccer boots and became a leader. He built his career by leading his former PSV Eindhoven under-19 team and took the helm of the first team in 2022. Last year, he took over the role of coach to assist former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.
However, in October last year, Ten Hach was replaced by Manchester United due to poor performance. However, it took time for Amorim to join, and naturally Van Nistelrooy played four games as acting manager. His performance in these four games was 3 wins and 1 draw, and he left Manchester United with Amorim's appointment.
In the meantime, Leicester City, which was looking for a new head coach after replacing Steve Cooper, have appointed Van Nistelrooy as the next head coach. He highly appreciated his ability as Manchester United's acting coach.
And Van Nistelrooy seemed to prove Leicester's decision was right with a two-match unbeaten streak upon his appointment. However, the miracle has stopped, and he is now in a shock five-game losing streak.
