Ruud van Nistelrooij responded for the first time on Friday evening to his sudden departure as PSV trainer. He does not give a reason for his departure, but emphasizes that his love for the club is permanent.
“Ten years of PSV, what a wonderful ride!” Van Nistelrooij writes on Twitter. The 46-year-old from Brabant played three seasons for PSV around the turn of the century and returned as a trainer after his career.
“I gained experience as an assistant coach and striker trainer for five years, while I got my diplomas in the meantime,” continues Van Nistelrooij.
“Then followed three years as head coach at PSV under 19 and one year at Jong PSV. And then the ultimate: becoming head coach of PSV. Winning trophies for this wonderful club with great supporters. Thank you for your unwavering support everywhere we played. PSV will always be in my heart and I will always support the club and the team.”

Van Nistelrooij clashed with assistants
Van Nistelrooij unexpectedly resigned as PSV trainer on Wednesday, although things had been rumbling within the organization for some time. He clashed with his assistants Fred Rutten and André Ooijer and learned through The Telegraph that players had spoken to the management about him. General director Marcel Brands and technical director Earnest Stewart spoke extensively with the Van Nistelrooij on Tuesday evening. They thought they had taken a lot of cold out of the air, but the former Orange international saw no reason to continue.
Van Nistelrooij does not write about how he now looks at the situation. On Sunday in the season finale against AZ, he will be replaced by Rutten as the person ultimately responsible on the bench. If PSV takes at least one point in Alkmaar, it is certain of second place and thus participation in the preliminary round of the Champions League.
It is not yet known who will succeed Van Nistelrooij in the longer term. Rutten will leave the club after this season, as will Ooijer.
