Former Man Utd star gets first coaching job
Former Man Utd and Netherlands striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, is set to be the new manager of PSV Eindhoven manager from next season, the Dutch club confirmed on Wednesday.
Van Nistelrooy had some of his football careers at PSV between 1998 and 2001.
The report revealed that Can Nistelrooy would replace Roger Schmidt at the end of this season.
For Nistelrooy, this will be the first time he will be a first-team manager, and the 45-year-old has signed a contract through 2025.
“A few things have come together the past few months.
“The appointment of Marcel Brand as PSV’s general manager and the conversation we’ve had were the final push I needed to make a conscious choice and take this step.
“PSV are ready to embark on a new path this summer and I am ready to play my part. Talks with the board of directors have reinforced the idea that we are ambitious and look to create something special in the long term. I am excited for the task in hand at PSV,” Van Nistelrooy said in a PSV statement.
Van Nistelrooy retired from the Netherlands national team in 2012, scoring 35 goals in 70 appearances.
