Van Nistelrooy Under Pressure as Leicester’s Struggles Continue After West Ham Defeat

Posted : 28 February 2025

Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s tenure at Leicester City continues to be marred by poor results, with their latest 2-0 defeat to West Ham deepening the club’s struggles. Since replacing Steve Cooper in November, the former Manchester United striker has managed just two league wins in 14 matches, losing 11 of the last 12. Leicester’s attacking woes have also worsened, having failed to score in their last four Premier League games while conceding 12 goals in that period.

 

At the London Stadium, Van Nistelrooy cut a frustrated figure as his side delivered another uninspiring performance. When asked about his future ahead of their crucial clash against Chelsea on March 9, he offered little clarity, stating only that he would "keep working" despite Leicester’s precarious position. The Foxes remain 19th in the table, level on points with Ipswich but behind on goal difference, and sit five points away from safety.

 

Although Leicester showed more attacking intent in the second half against West Ham, their defensive frailties remain a major concern. Van Nistelrooy acknowledged the contrast in performances, noting that his team “tried not to lose” in the first half before shifting to a more aggressive approach after the break. However, with just one clean sheet all season and a staggering 61 goals conceded, their defensive struggles continue to undermine any hopes of survival.
