It was a good first victory for Ruud van Nistelrooy, and perhaps a final defeat for Julen Lopetegui.
Leicester secured Van Nistelrooy’s first win at the helm, edging out a 3-1 victory over Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham United in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Former Manchester United striker Van Nistelrooy returns to English football, this time as manager, with Leicester taking a chance on the Dutchman after his brief and impressive spell as caretaker manager at United this season following the departure of Erik ten Hag.
West Ham have lost seven of their 14 games so far and are 14th in the 20-team league, one place above Leicester.
