Russell Martin, the former Southampton head coach, has the experience and skills needed to lead Leicester City to success in the Championship. He led Southampton to the top flight via the play-offs in 2024 and has been out of work since being relieved of his duties in December. Martin may have been waiting for the right opportunity to return to management.

Van Nistelrooy will manage Leicester City's last game of the season on Sunday against Bournemouth. The team will be without striker Jamie Vardy, who has played his final game for the club. This could make the game challenging for Leicester City, as they face a tough opponent with a strong desire to secure a European spot.
