PSV appoint Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy as new manager


The Old Trafford legend retired from playing in 2012 and has been gaining off-the-field experience ever since, initially as a striker coach within the PSV Academy. 

Ruud has also worked with their Under-19s, Under-21s and first team (as an assistant), while also helping within the Netherlands squad. Now, the time has come for him to take on the big job in Eindhoven. 

“It has always been my dream to be head coach at PSV,” says the former striker, who scored 62 goals in 67 matches for PSV between 1998 and 2001 before his transfer to United. 

“I’ve worked intensively with Toon Gerbrands, PSV’s current General Manager, the past few seasons. I was convinced I could pursue a professional coaching career and originally thought I needed one more year to gain experience. But sometimes things do go their way and you find out that life is not completely manageable. This is the right moment to take the next step.”
