Post: Fanny will leave Leicester City, Russell Martin will be his successor

May 21 According to the Daily Mail, Van Nie will leave Leicester City and Russell Martin will be his successor.

It is reported that Van Nie is about to leave Leicester City, and the club is expected to appoint Martin as the new head coach in the next few days. It is understood that Leicester City's negotiations with Martin have continued until this week and will be finalized soon.

This will be the first job Martin, 39, has been fired by Southampton in December last year. He led Southampton to the Premier League through the playoffs in 2024, so he has experience navigating the Championship. However, the task next season will be even more difficult as Leicester City faces a possible deduction for financial violations.

Fanny's position has been pending since the club confirmed its relegation. He has been preparing for the Championship season for the past two months, but the silence of the club's top executives has frustrated him. The

head coach's problems are also intertwined with the club's financial problems. In addition, Leicester City has been submitted to the Independent Commission for handling due to alleged violations of PSR regulations during the 2023-24 Championship. The allegation was raised after a long-term arbitration process, as a result of the club's fluctuations between the Championship and Premier League in recent seasons.
