A few hours after Ruud van Nistelrooy walked out of the gates at Old Trafford, the Dutchman was considered for a new coaching job. Eredivisie clubs are more than happy to have the super substitute at United as a coach, but offers on the ball island are tempting. It has come to a head in the battle for the job that both Van Nistelrooy and an English legend, who have played against each other in the Premier League as bitter rivals, want.
Frank Lampard has finally found the job he wants. Coventry are not really in crisis, but shockingly sacked former Manchester United player Mark Robins earlier this month after he had led the club from League Two to the final of the Championship play-offs and an FA Cup semi-final.
