JUST IN: Ruud van Nistelrooy And Leicester City Part Ways On Mutual Consent—-Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Leicester City by ‘mutual’ consent, the club said on Friday, after the Dutchman oversaw a disastrous second half to the season that ended in relegation from the Premier League.

Van Nistelrooy replaced Steve Cooper at the end of November, joining the Foxes on a deal that was set to last until June 2027. However, he will leave the club two years early after failing to improve the side’s fortunes.

A dismal Premier League run featured just five wins and four draws, while Van Nistelrooy’s team lost 18 times en route to relegation to the Championship. Now, Leicester and the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Netherlands striker have “mutually agreed” to end their partnership.

A club statement released on Friday (27 June) read: “Leicester City Football Club and Ruud van Nistelrooy have mutually agreed that Ruud’s contract with the Club as First Team Manager will terminate with immediate effect.

“Ruud has overseen a challenging period for the Club. From his appointment in November 2024, he approached the role with professionalism, integrity and a clear commitment to our aims, including through the integration of several promising players from the Club’s Academy into our First Team environment.

“Ruud moves on with the respect and thanks of everyone at the Football Club for his dedication and hard work, and with our very best wishes for the future. Preparation for the EFL Championship season will continue with the planned start of pre-season on Monday 30 June. First Team coaching staff will oversee the delivery of those plans until a new manager is appointed. There will be no further comment until this process has been completed.”

Van Nistelrooy said: “I would like to personally thank the Leicester City players, coaches, academy and all the staff I have worked with for their professionalism and dedication during my time at the Club and to thank the fans for their support, and take this opportunity to wish the Club well for the future.”

Van Nistelrooy, 48, joined Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff at Man United last summer, but his compatriot was sacked in October. Van Nistelrooy then took charge as interim coach at Old Trafford, overseeing a 5-2 win over Leicester in his first game, before joining the Foxes in late November.

Prior to joining Man United, Van Nistelrooy coached PSV – another of his former clubs – from the start of the 2022/23 season until the penultimate game. He left a match before the end of the Eredivisie season, having won the Johan Cruyff Shield and domestic cup earlier in the campaign. Before that, Van Nistelrooy had coached PSV’s under-17 and under-19 teams.

EL-Lab Medical Diagnostics And Research Centre Secures ReAccreditation To ISO 15189:2022

EL-Lab Medical Diagnostics And Research Centre Secures ReAccreditation To ISO 15189:2022

EL-Lab, a leading Medical diagnostic centre in Lagos earns renewed Accreditation from the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS), affirming its continued technical competence in medical laboratory testing.

A medical diagnostic centre with branches across Lagos, EL-Lab is the First Indigenous medical laboratory in Nigeria to attain the ISO 15189 status in Nigeria ten years ago. Till date, Nigeria may have less than 50 medical laboratories in both public and private categories to meet this standard.

EL-LAB has maintained this accreditation status for ten (10) years and currently holds this qualification from two (2) accreditation bodies in Nigeria, namely Medical Laboratory Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) and Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS)

This achievement of reaccreditation and transition to ISO 15189:2022 for Medical testing, following a rigorous reassessment by Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) confirms that EL-Lab continues to meet the requirements of ISO 15189:2022, the internationally recognised standard governing quality and competence in medical laboratories. It sets out requirements covering everything from sample handling and testing procedures to staff competence and quality management, giving patients, clinicians, and partner institutions confidence in the accuracy and reliability of results.

For a medical diagnostic laboratory, reaccreditation is no small feat. It requires laboratories to demonstrate, through an independent and thorough assessment, that its systems, processes, and personnel consistently deliver results in line with international best practice. NiNAS, as Nigeria’s national accreditation body, conducts these assessments to ensure that accredited laboratories maintain the standards necessary for both local and global recognition.

By retaining this accreditation, EL Lab reinforces its position as a trusted provider of medical testing services within Lagos and the broader Nigerian healthcare system.

Speaking on this, the Managing Director of EL-Lab, Dr Elochukwu Adibo mni said; “This achievement reflects the laboratory’s commitment to quality assurance, staff training, and process improvement, factors that lead to more reliable outcomes for patients and referring clinicians”.
