Overview

• Leicester City announced on June 27 that they and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually terminated his contract following the club’s drop to the Championship.
• Under Van Nistelrooy’s tenure, Leicester won five, drew three and lost 19 of 27 matches and set a top-flight record by failing to score in nine straight home games.
• Sean Dyche is the frontrunner to succeed Van Nistelrooy, with other names such as Danny Rohl also being monitored by the club.
• The Foxes face potential financial fair play sanctions that could include a points deduction and are coping with budget constraints linked to King Power’s financial troubles in Thailand.
• First-team coaches will oversee pre-season training starting June 30 until a permanent manager is appointed ahead of the Championship campaign.
