AdminLeicester City manager Russell Martin has opened up about the rules he introduced at the club, making it clear that his expectations regarding player behaviour and discipline have been in place since his first day in charge.
The Foxes boss believes maintaining strong relationships between players is essential to building a united dressing room, insisting that simple changes to everyday habits can make a significant difference to the atmosphere within the squad.
Martin was asked about the rules imposed at the club, particularly the restrictions surrounding mobile phone use when players gather in the canteen.
The Leicester manager made it clear that the policy was nothing new, explaining that he had introduced similar measures at every club he had previously managed.
‘🗣️ “We introduced that on Day One. We’ve done it at every club we’ve been at’
Martin also stressed the importance of players communicating with one another rather than becoming distracted by their phones during mealtimes.
‘When you’re in the canteen, you speak to each other — you don’t look at your phone. I don’t think it’s that difficult’
The comments underline Martin’s determination to establish a disciplined environment at Leicester, with the manager seemingly keen to ensure his players understand the importance of togetherness away from the pitch.
While the rule may appear straightforward, Martin clearly believes that encouraging face-to-face conversations can strengthen relationships within the squad and help create the team spirit required to achieve the club’s ambitions this season.
