Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s future at Leicester City is far from assured, since neither the manager nor the club are certain that they want to keep working together into the upcoming year.

Before the season ends, Leicester does not currently have any plans to replace Van Nistelrooy.

According to sources who spoke to Sky Sports News, spontaneous talks took place shortly after the heartbreaking 3-0 loss to Newcastle.

However, after careful consideration, both parties decided that Van Nistelrooy should remain in his position for the time being.

After eight straight losing games without a goal, Leicester’s 2-2 draw against Brighton over the weekend stopped the rot, even though it has put them farther behind in their battle to avoid relegation.

Although the team’s performance and outcome have somewhat improved the atmosphere at the training facility, there is still a very real understanding of Leicester’s predicament—they are 17 points from safety and second bottom of the table.

If Leicester loses to the champions-elect, Liverpool, on Sunday, they will be demoted with five Premier League games remaining.
