AdminLeicester City’s dreadful start to life in League One has raised serious questions over Russell Martin’s future, with the club reportedly already considering whether a managerial change is required.
The Foxes have collected just five points from their opening five matches following back-to-back relegations, leaving them languishing in the bottom half of the table.
Supporters have become increasingly frustrated with Martin’s football, while Saturday’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to Oxford United at the King Power Stadium has only intensified the pressure.
According to Graeme Bailey, Leicester are now understood to be assessing Martin’s position. Despite an encouraging summer in the transfer market on paper, performances have failed to match expectations, leaving the club facing another difficult season.
If Leicester decide to act, several managers could emerge as potential replacements.
Dave Challinor would be an obvious candidate after guiding Stockport County through the divisions and establishing them as a competitive League One side.
Scott Parker is another experienced option, having secured promotions with Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley, although questions remain over his cautious style.
Bolton Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher could also attract interest after achieving promotion from League One twice.
Jagiellonia Bialystok’s Adrian Siemieniec represents a more adventurous choice after leading the Polish club to their first league title.
Former Leicester midfielder Richie Wellens could also be considered, having impressed with Leyton Orient in League One.
