Leicester City have confirmed they have reached a mutual agreement with Ruud van Nistelrooy to terminate his contract. The club is now actively assessing replacements, with Sean Dyche and Danny Rohl among the names under consideration, and a swift decision is needed to avoid disruptions to their transfer plans.

Dyche has already expressed his willingness to take the job, while Rohl is currently in discussions with Sheffield Wednesday to negotiate the terms of his release.

Pre-season training is set to begin on Monday, with the club stating that the current coaching staff will oversee preparations until a new head coach is appointed. For now, Andy King is expected to lead the sessions. The late timing of Van Nistelrooy’s departure was reportedly linked to budgetary considerations.
