AdminRussell Martin says Leicester City’s history, ambition and infrastructure made the decision to take the manager’s job an easy one.
The Foxes head coach admitted the opportunity was too good to ignore, with the club’s recent achievements and long-term potential convincing him that it was the right place to continue his coaching journey.
Leicester are preparing for a demanding Championship campaign, but Martin believes the club already has many of the ingredients needed to compete.
From the quality of the training ground to the strength of the academy, he feels there is a solid platform on which to build.
The manager also pointed to the size of Leicester’s support, insisting the passion surrounding the club played a major part in his decision.
He is confident that with the right approach, the team can develop a clear identity and move in the direction he wants.
Explaining why he accepted the role, Martin said: “the size and stature of this club. It’s won the Premier League, has a huge fanbase, amazing facilities and brilliant young players.
I was convinced that we were going to be able to do what we wanted to do in terms of the process and the work.”
Martin is now focused on turning those ambitions into results on the pitch. With pre-season preparations nearing their conclusion, Leicester’s head coach believes the foundations are being put in place for a positive campaign and is eager to see his players deliver once the Championship season gets underway.
