Russell Martin is emerging as a candidate for the vacant managerial position at Leicester City, according to BBC Radio Leicester's Owynn Palmer-Atkin. Although comparisons are drawn between Martin and former coach Enzo Maresca, Palmer-Atkin suggests Martin represents a more extreme approach to football. Leicester City faces significant changes with 10 players released this summer, including captain Ricardo Pereira and forwards Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka. A critical managerial appointment is needed to guide the team during this major rebuild and re-establish their presence in the Championship and Premier League.
