Van Nistelrooy leaves Man Utd following Amorim arrival, club confirm | OneFootball

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United following the arrival of Ruben Amorim as head coach, the club have announced.

Former United striker Van Nistelrooy took temporary charge of the team following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, overseeing three wins and a draw during his four games in charge.

The 48-year-old only rejoined the club this summer as an assistant coach to ten Hag but leaves following the arrival of United’s new boss.

“Manchester United can confirm that Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club,” Man Utd said in a statement.

“Ruud rejoined in the summer and has taken charge of the team for the past four matches as interim head coach.

“Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend.

“We are grateful for his contribution and the way in which he has approached his role throughout his time with the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford.

“Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also departed and we wish them all well for the future.

“We will confirm the full men’s first team coaching composition in due course.”
