AdminMarc Albrighton has given Leicester City supporters another reason to feel optimistic ahead of the new season after speaking warmly about new head coach Russell Martin during the club’s 2026/27 away kit launch.
The Foxes legend appeared alongside former captain Wes Morgan at the special launch event in Leicester, where the club officially unveiled its new adidas away strip.
The event featured interviews with both club icons as fans gathered to celebrate the start of a new era under Martin.
During his interview, Albrighton praised the impact Russell Martin has already made around the club, saying the new manager has brought fresh energy, high standards and a clear footballing identity to the training ground.
Speaking about Martin, Albrighton said: “He’s been brilliant. You can already see the enthusiasm he has and the way he wants the team to play.
Everyone around the club is excited about what’s coming, and I think the supporters will enjoy watching this team.”
Those comments quickly caught the attention of Leicester fans, many of whom welcomed the former winger’s endorsement of the new boss.
After a difficult campaign, supporters are hoping Martin can restore the attacking style and winning mentality that once made the Foxes one of English football’s most admired clubs.
Martin has already made it clear that he expects intensity, commitment and bravery from his players throughout pre-season, with several young talents impressing as they compete for places ahead of the Championship campaign.
Albrighton’s glowing assessment will only add to the growing belief that Leicester are moving in the right direction.
With pre-season gathering momentum and excitement building around the squad, supporters will be hoping Martin’s project delivers success when the new season finally gets underway.
