Breaking News: Nine jobs Ruud van Nistelrooy take next this morning after emotional Man Utd exit

Ruud van Nistelrooy will now be searching for another managerial position after quitting his position at Manchester United.

After Erik ten Hag left United, Van Nistelrooy took over as interim manager. He won three of his four games in temporary management and drew the other one against Chelsea.

He only held one other top management position, at PSV Eindhoven, when he won the KNVB Cup and the Johan Cruyff Shield during the 2022–2023 season.

Earlier this year, Van Nistelrooy stated, “I would love to work in England or Spain, but I have had offers from various clubs, also in my own country.”

Since I understand the language well in those nations, I would like to coach in the league where I have competed. I believe that I have accumulated a great deal of experience. I’ve completed the rankings.

Nine possible next steps for the 48-year-old manager have been examined.

Burnley
Van Nistelrooy had discussions with Burnley when Vincent Kompany departed the Championship team at the end of the 2023–24 season to join Bayern Munich.

In the end, he decided to rejoin Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford as his assistant, and the Clarets hired Scott Parker as manager.

Parker had a great start to the 2024–25 season, but they have only won one of their last five Championship games, indicating a significant decline in play.

Burnley has no imminent chance of changing the manager’s office, but if things don’t work out, they might show more interest in Van Nistelrooy.

Coventry City After ending Mark Robins’ seven-year tenure as manager, Coventry is currently looking for a new first-team manager.

Frank Lampard, the former manager of Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton, has expressed interest in the open managerial post and is currently the front-runner.

Van Nistelrooy still has time to put himself forward, though, as the Sky Blues have not yet made a decision.

Everton
The Goodison Park supporters are growing more and more displeased with Sean Dyche’s style of play, which puts a lot of pressure on him at Everton.

A more aggressive manager like Van Nistelrooy may be hired by the Friedkin Group, who have agreed to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% controlling interest in the team.

Van Nistelrooy and Jarrad Branthwaite would reconnect at Goodison Park after the centre-back played on loan at PSV Eindhoven for the 2022–2023 season.

According to Branthwaite, “he was brilliant for me.” He would talk to me about the shape of my body when I was defending and how important it is to be side-on so that I am constantly prepared to press forward or run back.

“You will get done if you don’t have the right body shape because the Premier League is much faster,” he added. The striker will be gone if they play it in behind and you are not side-on.

Wolves
Gary O’Neil now faces an unclear future at Molineux, even though he was rewarded in August with a new four-year contract at Wolves.

They recently defeated Southampton to get their first three points of the 2024–25 season, however they are currently in the relegation zone.

Journalist David Ornstein stated, “I don’t think he’s completely out of the woods despite that huge win.”

“There is a big decision to be made there, as there is a perception that Wolves have a better team than they are achieving the desired results, so some discussions will take place.”

West Ham
In the summer, West Ham appointed Julien Lopetegui to succeed David Moyes, but they have had a terrible start to the new season.

The Hammers are now 14th in the Premier League standings after only accumulating 12 points from their first 11 games.

West Ham reportedly wants to respect the manager’s two-year contract and anticipates improving their play during the international break.

However, their tolerance will run out, and if he doesn’t improve their dismal performance, the owners will try to find someone else to take over.

Tottenham
Tottenham has had a dismal start to the 2024–25 season, losing five of their first 11 Premier League games since Ange Postecoglou took charge in 2023 and received praise for changing their style of play.

Following the 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town at home, the manager declared, “That’s up to me.” My responsibility is that.

“This year’s inconsistency ultimately comes down to me and my strategy, which I need to try to correct and see if I can assist the players in that area.”

His job at Spurs appears to be safe for the time being, but if he can’t deal with those problems, the manager may soon face increasing pressure.

Van Nistelrooy might be a surprise candidate for the position, even though Thomas Frank, Marco Silva, and Graham Potter would be the favourites.

Valencia
Van Nistelrooy has acknowledged that he would prefer to work in Spain, and Valencia may soon have a managerial opening.

After Gennaro Gattuso was fired as Valencia’s manager in February 2023, Ruben Baraja had an incredible first season in command, leading the team to ninth place in La Liga.

However, they have a dismal start to the 2024–25 season, having lost six of their first 11 La Liga games, drawn four, and won one.

Valencia is currently at the bottom of the table, and in recent years, their controversial owner, Peter Lim, has been impulsive with his managers.

Heerenveen
Van Nistelrooy, who has coached at Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven, may return to one of his previous teams.

During a single season at Heerenveen in 1997–98, the former Netherlands international scored 16 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions.

While Robin van Persie is in the dugout, Heerenveen is presently managed by another former striker for the Netherlands and Manchester United.

However, after 12 games, Heerenveen is currently 12th in the Eredivisie, making his first management position a bad start. Six of their first 12 games have ended in defeat, including a crushing 9-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar.

Van Persie’s tactical setup has also drawn criticism, and if Heerenveen’s performance doesn’t improve in the upcoming weeks, they may turn to Van Nistelrooy.

The Rangers
In the summer of 2000, Rangers made an attempt to sign Van Nistelrooy, but he stayed at PSV before joining Manchester United the following year.

Even though he turned down the transfer when he was playing, the 48-year-old has subsequently shown his respect for the Scottish team.

In 2022, he remarked, “Ibrox has a great atmosphere.” “Rangers is a fantastic club, and I have personally experienced the energy at Ibrox.”

Given that Rangers manager Philippe Clement is under a lot of pressure after a dismal start to the 2024–25 season, he might soon make Ibrox his home ground.
