Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to leave Leicester after taking over the club in troubled times with relegation looking imminent, but it was further confirmed during the Dutchman's tenure. With a win-rate of just 18. 52% it was always going to be tough to keep the job while also dropping down to the Championship and now Leicester are looking at replacing him with Sean Dyche. talk SPORT BET - Bet £10 get £30 in free bets - CLAIM HERE* Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy lost 19 of his 27 games in charge across all competitions. With the 48-year-old in charge, Leicester also set an unwanted record as they became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring. Van Nistelrooy is set to wait to be sacked but with the manager waiting, the club will of course be looking at various options. Dyche returning to management with Championship club Leicester could be a huge move for the 53-year-old. Having only been with three clubs previously; Watford, Burnley and Everton. He had multiple ups and downs with Burnley in his near decade at the club. In his first season with the club he somehow got them promoted after being tipped to be relegated having had just one transfer and lost their top scorer. And they stayed mostly in the Premier League since, despite two relegations they bounced back up again with Dyche in charge. With promotions gained from relegation twice, it makes a lot of sense for Leicester to be looking for proven form in this situation. Only Danny Rohl and former Manchester United star Michael Carrick are in the single digit prices for a move to the King Power Stadium. Carrick left Middlesbrough earlier this month after they failed to gain the expected traction for promotion for the second successive season, but has the experience in the Championship at the very least.
