Newly appointed Leicester City manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed his intention to incorporate tactics employed by his predecessor Enzo Maresca during his successful stint at the club.
Van Nistelrooy, who was announced as the new boss of the Foxes on Friday, aims to build on the foundations laid by Maresca.
Maresca led Leicester City to the Championship title with an impressive 100 points, and Van Nistelrooy is keen to emulate some of that success.
“The way Leicester City played under Maresca, winning the Championship and going into the Premier League, I see also that line continuing in those structures and the idea of playing,” Van Nistelrooy said.
The Dutch manager expressed his admiration for Maresca’s tactics and stated that he can relate to the structures and style of play implemented during Maresca’s tenure.
Van Nistelrooy replaces Steve Cooper, who left the team in 16th place after 12 matches.
With his new approach, Van Nistelrooy hopes to steer Leicester City up the Premier League table.
