Leicester City face League One challenge under new manager Russell Martin

Leicester City, former Premier League champions, are preparing for a League One campaign under new manager Russell Martin, with a focus on young talent.

  • Leicester City, crowned Premier League champions a decade ago, are now in League One.
  • Russell Martin is the new manager for Leicester City, tasked with a reset.
  • Harry Souttar and Stephy Mavididi are expected to support young talents at Leicester.

Leicester City, who were Premier League champions a decade ago, are now in the third tier of English football. The club is undergoing a reset under new manager Russell Martin, following what has been described as chronic mismanagement.

Many of Leicester's top earners have departed, with limited new arrivals. However, the squad is believed to retain enough quality to compete at this level. Martin plans to utilise young talents, who will be supported by experienced players Harry Souttar and Stephy Mavididi.

Elsewhere in League One, Stockport has seen Jimmy McNulty replace Dave Challinor after a playoff final defeat, implementing a strategy of signing youngsters. Sheffield Wednesday's new ownership and squad overhaul make their prospects difficult to assess, though the signing of Louie Barry signals intent.
