“This first position means a lot” (Premier League)

Ruud Van Nistelrooy, new Leicester manager: “When you first approach, you think about the club, the players, the facilities, the training ground and all the questions you have, and you are curious about the people who work there. Enzo Maresca being a great friend and former teammate, he was the first to call. What better information could I get? But to be honest, when we played against each other in the Premier League, when I came on as a substitute against Chelsea, for half an hour we talked and I didn't know about Leicester yet, but we had talked about it and he was already very positive, so it only got better when I talked to him. I have to say he was right, based on the first impressions I got. This first position means a lot.
