Leicester City's new manager Russell Martin must prove himself in League One. The Foxes are in the third tier after back-to-back relegations, and Martin's possession-based style of football will be put to the test. Matt Heath, a former Leicester defender, believes Martin's ability to adapt will be crucial to his success. Heath says that Martin's recent history isn't great, but he has spent time in League One with MK Dons and has pedigree as a player. Delivering early results next season will be vital if Martin is to win over Foxes supporters who doubt him now. Martin's style will matter just as much as the substance of any result, with Heath adding that Martin can show he is 'learning as a manager' by not being fixated on one way of playing. The style that Martin has so far stuck to will be familiar to Leicester, with the former Scotland international's approach being a reflection on what the Foxes played under Enzo Maresca as they won the 2024 Championship title. A point of difference with Martin is that his tactics can be more attack-minded and incisive. Leicester are undergoing a summer rebuild, having moved on 10 players, including captain Ricardo Pereira and strikers Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew. The club has battled to reduce its wage bill, and a need to raise money in an effort to comply with financial rules could mean a number of players will be sold.
