Head coach Ruud van Nistelrooij announced Wednesday morning that he would be leaving PSV. After several talks on internal matters that were held in recent weeks, a conversation between the Executive Board and Van Nistelrooij took place on Tuesday evening. In it, it was decided to keep the focus on next Sunday's match against AZ and to talk further after the season.
Van Nistelrooij reported this morning that in his opinion there was too little support within the club to continue longer. He explained this to the players and staff immediately afterwards. Next Sunday, Fred Rutten, at the request of the management, will temporarily take over his role as Head Coach.
PSV regrets Van Nistelrooij's decision and is grateful to him for winning the Johan Cruijff Schaal and the TOTO KNVB Beker this season and hopes to end the football year by finishing second.
