In his first official match as Leicester City manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy led his team to a commanding 3-1 victory over West Ham United at the King Power Stadium. The match, which marked Van Nistelrooy's managerial debut, saw Leicester City secure their first win in six matches.
Leicester City dominated the game from the start, with Jamie Vardy scoring the opening goal in the second minute. Initially ruled offside, the goal was confirmed by VAR, giving Leicester an early lead. Despite West Ham's efforts to equalize, including a disallowed goal by Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Leicester doubled their lead through Bilal El Khannouss in the second half. Substitute Patson Daka added a third goal, while Niclas Fullkrug scored a late consolation for West Ham.
Wilfred Ndidi was named the Man of the Match for his outstanding defensive performance. Despite not scoring or assisting, Ndidi's contributions were crucial in maintaining Leicester's control over the game. He completed 86% of his passes, won six tackles, and made several key interceptions.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, who previously served as an assistant coach at Manchester United, made an impressive start to his tenure at Leicester City. His tactical acumen and motivational skills were evident as Leicester secured a much-needed victory.
Before his appointment at Leicester City, Van Nistelrooy served as an interim manager at Manchester United, where he guided the team to a 3-0 victory over Leicester City in his only match in charge.
