The Story in 60 Seconds

Leicester City admire former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Rob Edwards as current head coach Russell Martin faces mounting pressure, according to reporter Ben Jacobs. Martin is under intense scrutiny after Leicester suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Peterborough United, leaving the Foxes in 17th place in League One. The club's hierarchy is reportedly considering a managerial change if results do not improve immediately.

Edwards remains unattached after departing Wolves in the summer following their relegation from the Premier League. The 43-year-old previously managed Luton Town, Watford, and Forest Green Rovers, and is being considered alongside other potential candidates, including Neil Lennon, should Leicester decide to dismiss Martin ahead of their clash against Doncaster Rovers.
