PSV Eindhoven has announced that head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has left the club before their final game of the season, citing "a lack of support within the club" as the reason for his departure, according to a statement released by the club.

Since taking over the role in March 2022, Van Nistelrooy has led PSV to victory in the Dutch Cup and Dutch Super Cup.

Discussions about his future at the club were scheduled for Sunday, but the 46-year-old coach decided to resign beforehand.

PSV expressed their regret over Van Nistelrooy's decision and acknowledged his achievements during his tenure. Currently occupying the second position in the Eredivisie, PSV is 10 points behind league leaders Feyenoord and holds a three-point advantage over third-placed Ajax.

With an important game against AZ Alkmaar on the horizon, PSV aims to secure a spot in the qualification stage of the Champions League by avoiding defeat.

The club stated that Van Nistelrooy informed the first-team squad and coaching staff about his immediate resignation due to a lack of support within the organization.

PSV will now rely on assistant coach Fred Rutten to take over on a temporary basis as they strive to conclude the season strongly.

Valencia Football Club has received a punishment of a partial stadium closure for five matches in response to the racist abuse suffered by Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.

Spanish authorities have detained three individuals in connection with the incident that occurred at Mestalla Stadium on Sunday. Additionally, Valencia has been fined 45,000 euros (£39,000) for the incident.

In a positive turn, Vinicius Jr.'s late red card has been overturned, resulting in the cancellation of his suspension. This means he will be available for the upcoming game against Real Vallecano, provided he recovers from a knee injury that caused him to miss Tuesday's training session.

Valencia has expressed their disagreement with the partial stadium closure, deeming it "disproportionate, unjust, and unprecedented."

The club intends to appeal this aspect of the sanction. They have emphasized their cooperation with the authorities in investigating the events and have taken action by imposing a lifetime ban on the identified fans responsible for the racist behavior.

The closure will specifically affect the south stand of Mestalla Stadium, the area to which Vinicius Jr. pointed during the second half of the match while expressing his frustration. The closure serves as a consequence for the club and a measure to address the unacceptable behavior exhibited by a section of their supporters.
