The fact that Ruud van Nistelrooij left PSV one match before the end of the season comes as no surprise to Hans Kraay junior. The reporter of ESPN regularly heard in the past year that the trainer was done with it and wanted to stop prematurely in Eindhoven. Van Nistelrooij felt too little support from the PSV leadership and therefore decided to resign.
“What I’ve known for a while and never called out. But what was leaked yesterday (Saturday, ed.): he has already indicated a few times before that he wants to stop,” Kraay junior explains in Sunday Good morning Premier League. “I suddenly read that somewhere yesterday, so I can say it now. That’s right, he has indicated a few times that he wants to stop. After a defeat against FC Twente (2-1 in September last year, ed.), he quit.”
?? Hans Kraay Jr. fully supports Ruud van Nistelrooij’s decision:
“Get out! There’s some backstabbing dog heads out there”

“He didn’t like it a few times. I didn’t want to say that, because I don’t think that’s chic. I read it in one of the newspapers, so it has already been thrown into the world,” Kraay junior continues his analysis of the departure van Nistelrooy at PSV. “So he doubted quite a few times. And I think he is very disappointed in a number of players. Because the agents have leaked to De Telegraaf, but that is because of the players. So he knows which agents and players they are .”
“And Van Nistelrooij does not blame De Telegraaf, he blames the players who have been talking turpentine to their agents. But she (De Telegraaf, ed.) So has a leak, just like at the time of Erik ten Hag at Ajax. And it’s nice when you have a leak as a newspaper. And Van Nistelrooij is not retarded either, because this is of all times. Because if you have a trainer for a little longer, then after two or three training days you can smell who you should keep an eye on That’s what Henk ten Cate said to me. And this hurt him a lot. And I think it’s very good that he left.”
