Leicester City’s new head coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy, is set to work closely with Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew as he takes charge of the Premier League club. Van Nistelrooy replaces Steve Cooper, dismissed after Leicester fell perilously close to the relegation zone.
Ayew, who joined Leicester from Crystal Palace in the summer for £9 million, has contributed three goals this season.
His experience and versatility will be crucial as Van Nistelrooy looks to stabilize the team’s performance.
Meanwhile, young Ghanaian winger Fatawu Issahaku, sidelined with an ACL injury, will continue his recovery.
Initially expected to provide depth on the wings, the 20-year-old’s absence leaves a gap in the squad.
Van Nistelrooy faces an uphill task to reverse Leicester’s fortunes, with his first challenge coming in a Premier League clash against Brentford this weekend.
The Dutchman’s tactical expertise, combined with Ayew’s contributions, could be key to pulling the Foxes out of danger.
