Speaking in his first full interview since taking the Leicester City job, Ruud van Nistelrooy revealed what he had been told about the club prior to joining.
Leicester City were beaten in the Premier League over the weekend by Brentford. Simply put, it was not a good showing from the Foxes and a sign that better things must come.
Of course, Ruud van Nistelrooy took charge of the club after the result. The Dutch manager, in his first permanent Premier League managerial role, is hopeful that he can turn things around for the Foxes.
Shortly after he joined, Ruud van Nistelrooy was interviewed in his own home. He made some promising comments about Leicester, one of which about the conversations he had with others about the club.
Reflecting on his new role, Ruud van Nistelrooy claimed that he had many positive conversations about Leicester City. He said that everybody is enthusiastic and recalls great stories about the Foxes.
In his own words, Ruud van Nistelrooy said: "I'm proud (to be Leicester manager), I'm excited. Everybody I speak to about Leicesteser City Football Club is enthusiatic, has great stories about the quality of people working in the club. The supporters also, of course, the recent history of the club is impressive. So, you know, I'm dead excited to start."
Regardless what you think about Leicester City firing Steve Cooper so soon, this is the decision which the club have made. Now, the Foxes must live with it and work hard to justify the decision going forward.
Either way, Ruud van Nistelrooy is the manager now. So, every single Leicester fan will get behind him and hopefully this will transcend onto the pitch. He is clearly excited to manage, which shows he has high ambitions and big plans to turn the club around.
