Leicester City have appointed former PSV Eindhoven boss Ruud van Nistelrooy as their new manager.
The Dutchman replaces Steve Cooper, who was sacked last weekend after just 12 Premier League matches in charge of the Foxes.
He has signed a contract until June 2027 at the King Power Stadium.
"I'm proud, I'm excited," said the 48-year-old.
"Everybody that I speak to about Leicester City is enthusiastic. They have great stories about the quality of the people working at the club, the supporters and, of course, the recent history of the club is impressive.
"I'm excited to start and to get to know everyone and give everything I can for the football club."
Leicester are 16th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone, and go to Brentford on Saturday.
First-team coach Ben Dawson will take charge of the side in west London before Van Nistelrooy leads the Foxes for the first time against West Ham at home on 3 December.
