“I’m going to sign four of them if he don’t know how to use them”:Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as another club’s manager and he’s already working to sign four Players axed by Ruben Amorim

Van Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford in the summer as an assistant before becoming interim manager when Erik ten Hag was sacked.

He has now departed the Red Devils again, though, after winning three of his four matches in charge.

The 48-year-old remains keen to return to management over a year on from leaving his role as PSV boss.

talkSPORT understands Van Nistelrooy has applied for the vacant Coventry job, with Frank Lampard also in the running to replace Mark Robins at the Championship club.

However, talkSPORT co-host Jennings believes there is a top-flight club which would fit the former striker perfectly.

He said: “I can’t see a world where Ruud van Nistelrooy isn’t considered for a Premier League job. You can’t honestly believe that he’s going to dip into the Championship.”

He continued: “I think West Ham is actually the perfect club. If you think about what West Ham fans are in need of at the moment.

“If you think about the way that they are feeling and I think the way that they’ve been short changed by their ownership.

“I think Ruud van Nistelrooy is a tonic. Ruud van Nistelrooy is exactly what they were demanding.

“It’s the sort of appointment that West Ham fans not only demanded, but that West Ham fans deserved off the back of their protests about David Moyes leaving the club.”

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s managerial journey continues to draw attention following his brief stint as Manchester United’s interim manager, where he achieved notable success by winning three of his four matches in charge. Despite his departure from Old Trafford, the 48-year-old remains ambitious, with his application for the Coventry City role signaling his readiness to return to management.

While Coventry presents an intriguing opportunity, there’s growing speculation about Van Nistelrooy stepping into a Premier League role, with pundits like talkSPORT’s Jennings suggesting he would be a perfect fit for West Ham United. Jennings highlighted that Van Nistelrooy could rejuvenate the club and align with fans’ demands for fresh leadership and an ambitious approach, especially after frustrations with the club’s ownership and David Moyes’ departure.

Whether in the Championship with Coventry or the Premier League with a club like West Ham, Van Nistelrooy’s next managerial move will undoubtedly be watched closely, as his reputation as a player and his emerging coaching pedigree make him a compelling candidate for clubs seeking a high-profile and progressive appointment.
