We are still waiting for different news regarding Russell Martin being appointed and Ruud van Nistelrooy exit. This will happen in the next few days, so we just have to wait for the confirmation coming.
In the meantime, listen to Gary Lineker and Russell Martin. Lineker’s in-depth interview with Russell Martin a few weeks ago gives you insight into who is coming in. The link was there at an early date, speaking and meeting the former Leicester legend in his house. One episode talked about was his special record in English football. There were 56 passes made before a goal was scored. This was not with Southampton. It happened during his early management days at MK Dons.
His life in Premier League was not one to talk much about. His previous work at MK Dons, Swansea, and in his first season at Southampton, reveals his true capabilities. We can clearly understand what this man is all about.
This interview shows in depth what he is all about. A lot of different comments on him online, makes little or no impact in an objective perspective. He looks a very reflected person and one that has a sence of humour.

Looking at previous managers at Leicester, believe Russell Martin is similar to Nigel Pearson. Both were central defenders at a high level. Observing his style of play, he might have a few hidden secrets.
Often for a good manager he also have special people around him. He will bring with him a number of good people. He is a fighter and one that never gave up, making it from hard work and with no free card.
Leicester will get a personate person and a young manager with a great attitude and will to survive. The club will get a man in that should fit well in this job. He is influenced by Pep Guardiola. He has a romantic relation to that type of football. He also believes he can be pragmatic, learning his trade along the way.
He has played under a number of special people. Darren Ferguson, Paul Lambert and Gordon Strachan were among his managers so a good learning. Paul Lambert had an impact on him, being the one bringing him to Norwich. Alex Neil and Darren Ferguson are both talked up by Russell Martin. A very interesting interview and a nice talk to understand who the Leicester manager is.
The link looks already there. Lineker’s Leicester to be managed by Leicester, just weeks after this interview was made. Strange happenings often happens and when Russell Martin starts his job at Leicester, he will, of course, have this interview when he takes charge.
We are waiting for this to happen, hopefully Leicester hitting bulls eye with this appointment.
