Man Utd hero Van Nistelrooy turns to Kenyon to land next post

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to find another job.

The former PSV Eindhoven manager, who quit the club last summer, wants the right opportunity.

Van Nistelrooy, who also played for PSV and Real Madrid during a glittering career, is getting help on this front.

He is working with former United and Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon, with Van Nistelrooy stating: “I have spoken to clubs from several countries.

“In England, you see more and more that they are going for a model with a technical director and a head coach. It's no longer the model of the coach or manager buying the players. I find that model with a technical director and a manager very interesting.

“The technical director gets the players and looks for a manager to match. You can work on a good foundation, like Xabi Alonso now at Bayer Leverkusen, supported by a technical director who also has every interest in working really well together.''
