The Story in 60 Seconds

Pundit Simon Jordan stated on talkSPORT that Leicester City head coach Russell Martin will get fired unless he changes his tactical approach and starts getting results. Leicester City currently sits in 17th place in League One after eight fixtures, positioned just one point above the relegation zone following a 3-1 home defeat to Peterborough United at the King Power Stadium.

Harry Mail of The72 argues that Martin's possession-based style of play is not working and that the manager must show greater tactical flexibility to avoid being sacked. Martin was appointed on a three-year contract running until 2029 as Gary Rowett's replacement following the Foxes' relegation, and his team next faces Doncaster Rovers at home.
