Ruud van Nistelrooy said in his first press conference that he will bring more people in, and one looks to have appeared, Jelle ten Rouwelaar. The Dutch coach had his previous role as goalkeeper coach at Man Utd and before that being at Ajax and Burnley,
Caretaker boss for one game, Ben Dawson, was also seen in close connection with Ruud during the game, as he also looks to have have a role, for now. It will be interesting to see how the set up will look, when Ruud has made his appointments in the near future.
The early rumour was that Rene Hake would be joining, he also vacant after leaving Man Utd together with Ruud, but not seen yesterday. Jelle ten Rouwelaar is yet to be announced, surely will be when the coaching staff under Ruud are settling.
Jelle ten Rouwelaar is dus de nieuwe assistent van Ruud van Nistelrooij bij Leicester City. Na Burnley, Ajax en Manchester United zijn vierde werkgever in een halfjaar. Als speler was hij iets honkvaster😄. #NACpraat pic.twitter.com/xDdAapzq3U

Both Hake and ten Rouwalaar are highly experienced football people with a grand knowledge, so we just have to wait and see who will ariive. We have earlier talked about Rene Hake, with Jelle ten Rouwelaar a bit similar. Ruud looks to have ten Rouwelaar on board as the clubs new goalkeeper coach. He is, as Hake, a former player at the highest league in Dutch football. ten Rouwelaar is a legend at NAC Breda, playing 313 league games over 9 seasons for the Dutch club. The 43 year old finished his playing career with NAC in 2016, and from then started his journey as a goalkeeper coach. He is born on the 24th of December, so to have such a man around, looks fortunate. Since starting up as a goalkeeper coach, he has been with NAC Breda, Holland U.20, PSV Eindhoven, Anderlecht, Burnley and Man Utd, and switching from working with Andre Onana to Mads Hermansen, will be a good man and coach for the Dane and his developement.
His connection to Ruud van Nistelrooy is obvious as the two worked together at Man Utd, ten Rouwelaar joining from Ajax after being paid out after only 8 days at work in that club. He must be one special man, and hopefully Leicester have landed one person that can develope the Leicester goalkeepers further.
