- Cooper sacked last Sunday after defeat by Chelsea
- Leicester are 16th in table, one point above drop zone
Ruud van Nistelrooy is poised to become the new Leicester City manager, making an almost immediate return to the Premier League after leaving Manchester United.
Van Nistelrooy, a United hero, is expected to succeed Steve Cooper, who was sacked last Sunday. His last game was a home defeat against his predecessor, Enzo Maresca, now in charge of the high-flying Chelsea.
