Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as the new head coach of PSV Eindhoven.

The Dutchman is currently the boss of youth side Jong PSV and will now move up to the first-team after signing a contract until 2025.

A star at Old Trafford, van Nistelrooy was linked with a return to United amidst speculation compatriot Erik ten Hag could takeover the Premier League giants.

Speaking at his unveiling, Van Nistelrooy said: "I've been working towards this moment for years.

"I am proud and confident that I am ready to take on a leadership role at my club. My goal has always been to be the head coach at PSV.

"In recent years I have been intensively supervised by the club and in particular by Toon Gerbrands (current general manager of PSV). I was convinced that I could fully direct my own coaching career and that required an extra season of experience as a trainer of Jong PSV.

"During the past month, several things came together. The appointment of Marcel Brands as General Manager of PSV and the conversation I had with him gave me the last push to now take this step with full conviction."
