Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has opened up about how a phone call from Erik ten Hag led him to join the Red Devils' coaching staff, overriding his plans to continue as a head coach elsewhere.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has explained how a phone call from Erik ten Hag changed his managerial career plans upon being offered a coaching role at Manchester United .
Van Nistelrooy joined Ten Hag’s backroom staff over the summer alongside Rene Hake, a long-time friend of the United boss who had just guided Go Ahead Eagles to their highest finish in the Eredivisie for 15 years. “I was in talks with clubs to manage and I love it . I had my staff all ready and then I had a phone call. I never even saw this as a possibility. Erik called me and talked it through. I started to love the idea.”
There is hope that the new hierarchy regime under Sir Jim Ratcliffe will help rekindle that winning culture of yesteryear. Van Nistelrooy says he is happy to play his part.
