Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is set to work under former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as his new manager.
According to Sky Sports, Van Nistelrooy is set to accept the Foxes’ offer to become their new boss.
The Dutchman is expected to be responsible for their game against Brentford on Saturday.
It is thought Van Nistelrooy is currently at his home in the Netherlands, but his appointment could be confirmed quickly.
Van Nistelrooy has been exploring opportunities to become a number one, and Sky Sports News understands he has received offers from other European clubs.
Leicester had considered the former Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg boss Niko Kovac and the current West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberan as possible candidates, but have now decided Van Nistelrooy is their preferred choice.
Club owner Aiyawatt Shrivadhannaprabha—known as “Top”—took personal responsibility for the appointment. Director of football Jon Rudkin prepared a list of candidates.
