Leicester City are struggling under Russell Martin and questions are being asked over whether he can be the man to turn the club around.

Writer Charlie Hodgson argues that Leicester City should consider replacing manager Russell Martin with former Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom. Following back-to-back relegations, Leicester City sit 17th in League One with nine points from eight matches after suffering a 3-1 home loss to Peterborough United.
Hodgson suggests that Martin's possession-heavy approach is not yielding results in the third tier, leaving the Foxes vulnerable defensively. In contrast, the writer highlights Heckingbottom's history of promotions with Sheffield United and Barnsley, arguing his pragmatic style could bring needed physicality.
