AdminLeicester City appear to be closing in on the appointment this manager as their new manager, with developments over the past 24 hours suggesting an announcement could be made in the near future.
Reports yesterday indicated that Martin was edging towards the role, and sources with knowledge of the situation continue to suggest that remains the case.
While nothing has yet been confirmed by the club, confidence is growing that the former Southampton boss will be the man chosen to lead the Foxes into the new campaign.
Martin is currently on holiday in Mallorca but is expected to arrive in Leicester shortly. Until an official statement is released, there remains a degree of uncertainty, although the signs are increasingly pointing in one direction.
The latest betting markets also reflect that shift. Martin is now priced at 5/4 to take the job, ahead of Dave Challinor at 4/1. Meanwhile, Darren Ferguson’s odds have drifted significantly.
Having previously been among the favourites, he has moved from 1/1 to 4/1, with many now expecting him to remain in contention for the vacancy at Salford City instead.
There is a sense of optimism surrounding Martin’s expected arrival. His coaching philosophy, experience and understanding of the game make him an attractive candidate.
Supporters will hope he can settle quickly, implement his ideas effectively and help the club move forward, much like Nigel Pearson did when he guided Leicester straight back to the Premier League.
