Manchester United icon Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly looking for a full-time managerial role, with Crystal Palace vying for his signature.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been linked with a move to Coventry City recently, and it appears that Crystal Palace are among three Premier League club keen on securing his services as well.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Eagles are in a three-way battle alongside Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers to land the 48-year-old Manchester United icon as their manager.
A report by Daily Mirror has claimed that Ruud van Nistelrooy is keen on a move to the Premier League as well, effectively ruling Coventry City out of the reckoning. As iterated, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City are among the interested parties as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Dutchman in the coming weeks.
Leicester City have a competitive squad at their disposal, but they have not been able to produce the desired results. Perhaps, a managerial change would be ideal for them, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move for the Dutch manager. His vision and ambition could help them turn things around and finish the season strongly.
Similarly, Wolves have been in disastrous form, and they need to turn things around desperately. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a quality manager who will help them bounce back strongly amid the links with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Crystal Palace need a change
Crystal Palace have a talented squad, but they have not been able to live up to the expectations. The Eagles showed great improvement under Oliver Glasner towards the end of last season, and they were expected to build on it this season. Things have not gone according to plan, and they are battling relegation.
Despite having a young and dynamic squad, Glasner has not been able to bring out the best in them. Perhaps a change of leadership would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether they decide to appoint the Manchester United icon as their next manager.
With the January transfer window fast approaching, these clubs are likely to make a decision soon, and it will be interesting to see where the 48-year-old ends up. A move to Crystal Palace would be quite exciting for him. He would get to showcase his qualities at a big club in the Premier League, and if he manages to succeed with them, he could end up joining some of the biggest clubs in the world in future.
