Yahoo Sports Van Nistelrooy leaves Man Utd coaching staff
Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United after not being given a role in new manager Ruben Amorim's backroom staff.
The 48-year-old Dutchman took over at Old Trafford on an interim basis after compatriot Erik ten Hag was sacked.
Van Nistelrooy, who joined United as an assistant coach in July on a two-year deal, managed three victories and a draw in his four games during his time as caretaker boss.
However, Amorim has decided against retaining the services of former Netherlands striker Van Nistelrooy, who spent five seasons at United as a player.
"Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend," the club said in a statement which confirmed Van Nistelrooy's exit.
"We are grateful for his contribution and the way in which he has approached his role throughout his time with the club. He will always be very welcome at Old Trafford."
United confirmed that fellow coaches Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel have also left the club.
United said they will "confirm the full men's first-team coaching composition" under Amorim "in due course".
