Speaking after the match, Van Nistelrooy admitted the team faces a "huge mountain to climb” a comment that only fuelled Leicester supporters' frustration.

revealed that Van Nistelrooy could be at risk of losing his job if results don't improve, and with another heavy defeat on the record, the pressure is only intensifying.

Many fans have criticised both the performance and the manager's inability to turn things around, with growing concerns over the club's position.

Van Nistelrooy initially picked up four points from his opening two games after replacing Steve Cooper in late November, offering brief hope of a turnaround.

However, the heavy defeat to Brentford marked Leicester's 10th loss in 11 matches, deepening their crisis. It was also their sixth consecutive home defeat without scoring—a record for a top-flight side in a single season.

Leicester fans have been frustrated with Van Nistelrooy throughout the campaign, and following yet another dismal result, the pressure on him has only intensified.

The 48-year-old has faced growing criticism from both pundits and supporters. Even former teammate Paul Scholes questioned Leicester's decision to appoint Van Nistelrooy, admitting he never saw him as managerial material.

The Foxes now sit 19th in the Premier League with just 17 points, two behind Wolves, who currently occupy the final safe spot.

Their 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Brentford means they have conceded the most goals in the league this season—59 in total.

After the game, Van Nistelrooy's post-match comments did little to reassure fans, with many accusing him of “giving up.” One frustrated supporter even declared, "Ruud is not good enough" adding that Leicester "need a manager who will tell players some home truths."
