Despite facing relegation with Leicester City, Ruud van Nistelrooy had a proud moment as his son Liam signed a professional contract with PSV.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, the current Leicester City manager, may be struggling on the pitch in England, but off it, he is enjoying a proud personal milestone.
Today, the Dutch football legend posed with his son Liam van Nistelrooy, who officially signed a professional contract with PSV Eindhoven, the same club where Ruud began his rise to international stardom back in 1998 after arriving from Heerenveen.
Liam, like his father, is a striker and one of the standout players for PSV's U17 team, which is currently competing for both the youth league title and the domestic cup. His development has impressed the club, prompting PSV to tie him down to his first professional deal.
PSV shared a celebratory photo of father and son, showing Ruud smiling proudly next to Liam—an emotional reminder of how football legacies continue through generations.
While Van Nistelrooy's time at Leicester City has been difficult—his team is set to drop to the Championship—today brought a moment of joy that overshadowed his professional struggles.
