Ruud van Nistelrooy meeting planned after new Leicester City manager sent brief message
Ruud van Nistelrooy will make his maiden visit to the Leicester City training ground on Sunday morning after watching his new side dismantled at Brentford.
Van Nistelrooy was in the stands at the Gtech Community Stadium alongside chairman Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin as City lost 4-1 to the Bees, their joint-heaviest defeat of the season. After a watching brief on Saturday, hands-on work begins on Sunday.
Having earned the job remotely, from his home in Eindhoven, Van Nistelrooy will visit Seagrave for the first time on Sunday morning. There he will meet caretaker boss Ben Dawson as preparations begin for Tuesday night’s home clash with West Ham, the Dutchman’s debut as City manager.

There was no contact between Van Nistelrooy and Dawson on Saturday, prior to the match, but the new boss did wish him and the squad good luck on Friday night after his appointment was confirmed. They will meet for the first time on Sunday.
Asked if he had spoken to Van Nistelrooy before kick-off in west London, Dawson said: “No, there was just the message last night when the appointment was made. He wished everybody good luck.
“The plan will be to catch up tomorrow at the training ground. (The meeting) will be whatever the new manager thinks. It was already scheduled that we’d be in tomorrow morning with the quick turnaround to Tuesday night.
“We had had a meeting planned anyway, if no appointment had been made, so we could review the game and look forward to Tuesday night. It will be up to the new manager how he uses that time.”
He wasn’t before, Van Nistelrooy will now be aware of the size of the task he faces. City gave one of their worst displays of the season, and were lacking quality at both ends of the pitch, prompting chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” towards the players.
Dawson said: “I’m not sure if there’s been any reaction in the dressing room. I thanked them for their efforts and their application this week which has been really good given the circumstances.
“We shared the disappointment that we couldn’t put a 90-minute performance together for the travelling fans, who again were great. They’re entitled to voice their frustrations and we strive to be better so we can have their full support for the full game.”
