Leicester City are understood to be considering the future of Russell Martin after a poor start to their League One campaign, u/TEAMtalk understands.

Martin was appointed in the summer following the Foxes’ relegation from the Championship, with Leicester widely regarded as one of the favourites for promotion.

However, they have won just one of their opening five league games, while home defeats to Burton Albion and Oxford United have piled the pressure on the manager.

The defeat to Oxford proved particularly damaging, with home supporters turning on Martin and chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” during the game.

TEAMtalk understands Leicester’s hierarchy are now assessing the situation and considering Martin’s position as the club looks to respond to the disappointing start.

Martin is facing a battle to save his job, with the pressure building after a run of results that falls well short of what Leicester expected when they appointed him.

The situation represents another difficult chapter for Martin since guiding Southampton to promotion via the Championship play-off final against Leeds in 2024.

Since then, across three different clubs, Martin has won just three league games.

He managed just one league victory at Southampton before being dismissed in late 2024, while his subsequent spell at Rangers lasted only 122 days and again produced just one league win.

Now, with only one league victory since taking charge at Leicester, the pressure is mounting once more.

The Foxes went into the season expecting to challenge at the top of League One, but their early results have fallen well short of those expectations.

With supporters now openly expressing their frustration and the club’s hierarchy assessing the situation, Martin’s position is firmly under scrutiny.
