Having left his position as Manchester United assistant upon the arrival of Ruben Amorim, Ruud van Nistelrooy quickly bounced back onto the Leicester bench. And if it started well with a victory against West Ham (3-1) and a draw against Brighton (2-2), the last few weeks are more complicated with four defeats in a row against Newcastle (4-0), Wolverhampton ( 3-0), Liverpool (3-1) and Manchester City (2-0).
And the problems could be even bigger for the Dutch coach. Under sanction from the Premier League for failing to comply with financial regulations, Leicester could be punished depending on The Guardian. Thus, the Foxes risk a points deduction while they are already two points behind Wolverhampton, the first non-relegation team.
