Ex-PSV coach Van Nistelrooy eyeing Prem return

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to work in England.

Van Nistelrooy is a free agent after leaving PSV Eindhoven last year.

He said, "I have had offers from various clubs, also in my own country, but I would love to work in England or in Spain. I want to coach in a league where I have played, because in those countries I speak the language fluently. In my opinion, I have gained plenty of experience. I have gone through the ranks."

He added: "I did the younger youth teams at PSV Eindhoven, I was coach of the under-21s and subsequently became manager of the first team. I have managed a lot of different players. I helped young talented players develop, let them grow, like Gakpo, Madueke (Johan) Bakayoko and Xavi Simons. I was able to support them in their development."

"It matters to me that it is a well organised club. I still want to work with young players, but ideally with a mixture of experienced professionals. I want to help them improve and bring a winning mentality. The latter is the most important thing. With my style of football."
