As PSV announced the news on Wednesday, the ex- Real Madrid striker told their website: “It has always been my dream to be head coach at PSV. I’ve worked intensively with Toon Gerbrands, PSV’s current General Manager, the past few seasons. I was convinced I could pursue a professional coaching career and originally thought I needed one more year to gain experience.
But sometimes things do go their way and you find out that life is not completely manageable. This is the right moment to take the next step.” Van Nistelrooy added on how the dream opportunity came around: “A few things have come together the past few months.

PSV are ready to embark on a new path this summer and I am ready to play my part. Talks with the board of directors have reinforced the idea that we are ambitious and look to create something special in the long term. I am excited for the task in hand at PSV.

PSV Director of Football John de Jong has given the 70-time Netherlands international a glowing endorsement, declaring: “We are delighted to confirm that Ruud van Nistelrooy is our new manager.
