Just In 🚨: Leicester City have confirmed they will not sack Russell Martin and have set this unbelievable condition for him if he wants to keep his job.

Russell Martin is facing mounting pressure at Leicester City, with reports suggesting the club are already considering whether to part company with the 40-year-old after just seven games in charge.

The Foxes’ miserable start to life in League One reached a new low on Saturday as they were thrashed 4-0 by Oxford United at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester have now won just one of their opening five league matches, leaving them down in 17th place.

Defeats to Burton Albion and Oxford, alongside a cup exit against Premier League side Ipswich Town, have further increased scrutiny on Martin.

Supporters made their feelings clear against Oxford, with boos and negative chants aimed at the manager throughout the afternoon.

According to Graeme Bailey of TEAMtalk, Leicester’s decision-makers are now considering the possibility of sacking the former Southampton boss just over two months after his appointment.

It could potentially become Martin’s third dismissal in less than two years following his departures from Southampton and Rangers.

Leicester now face two crucial away fixtures, travelling to Stockport County before visiting Barnsley.

Martin’s position may not be immediately under threat, but another poor run could force the club into action. With promotion expected, Leicester cannot afford to fall further behind the leading pack, and the upcoming fixtures could prove decisive for Martin’s future.
