Ruud Van Nistelrooy has minimized the fears that Leicester can be fired for only 56 days after his reign.
The Dutch manager, who replaced Steve Cooper in December, has supervised a streak of seven consecutive losses in the Premier League. Another defeat for Tottenham on Sunday would match a record of the club established in 2001.
“I am focused on getting this team out of the situation, that is my only concern,” said Van Nistelrooy when asked if he was worried about his work.
“I am with the players, working with everyone in Leicester to get the best of this team and in difficult times. In difficult times, you must be strong, show character, work and persist and commit.
“We are united and committed. That is the spirit and you can see that in the field. I can see a team with spirit and fight. If we continue this race, it will end. “
Leicester sits in 19, two points of security, after the 2-0 defeat last Saturday against Fulham.
“We know where we are in the League, but for the remaining games it is about getting out of this situation,” added the former Manchester United striker.
“Sunday is a new game in which we can start fighting to get out of this period. This is when you need character, union and unity. We are that. “
Patient, you do it for sale
Van Nistelrooy said that midfielder Wilfried Ndidi is not on sale this month after the speculation that links him with a transfer to Monaco.
“No, of course not,” he replied when asked if Ndidi, which is close to a return of an lesion in the hamstrings, could leave.
“Wilfred is a key player and person in the team and in the club, and I’m glad that he is almost there to help the team again.
“We know how much we have missed it and we know we need it. Wilf is key in the coming months, a key part of this team that can get us out of this situation. “

Van Nistelrooy said that the sale of £ 10 million of striker Tom Cannon to Sheffield United will have an impact on his January business, but admitted that he is not sure if the Foxes will have new arrivals before the deadline.
He said: “The situation for the last week is clear, we are looking for options to strengthen the team.
“This agreement with Tom is part of that situation and looks at the players to strengthen the team within the possibilities.
“No (the club’s commitment has not changed), we are still there. Of course, things change when players like Tom leave. We are still in that process.
“(The first weeks of the window) have not been wasted because we are paying our attention on the players, we have to improve the team and get the team out of this situation. The new players are an advantage.
“We have a right side we needed. We will see if we can strengthen, but if not, we will work with what we have.
“It is a job in progress. We are trying to do what is possible within the possibilities. At this moment there is no news about anything. “
