    Russell Martin led Southampton into the Premier League in 2024

    Russell Martin has become Leicester City's third permanent manager in less than a year.

    The former MK Dons, Swansea City, Southampton and Rangers boss has signed a three-year contract, with the Foxes preparing for League One football after relegation from the Championship last season.

    He won the Championship play-offs with Southampton in 2024 before being sacked four months into the Premier League campaign.

    Martin's previous job at Rangers lasted only 123 days so can he be the man to rescue Leicester from English football's third tier?

    Jack Wilshere is committed to Luton despite rival interest in the Hatters head coach.

    Wilshere joined the League One side in October and has helped stabilise the club after back-to-back relegations, leading them to within a point of the play-offs following an end-of-season run of six wins in seven.

    He also led the side to the EFL Trophy in his first season in charge.

    It is understood Wilshere was approached by Leicester in recent weeks following the departure of Gary Rowett in the wake of the Foxes' demotion to League One.

    But it is also understood Wilshere prefers to stay at Luton and continue the work he has started.

    It is also believed that Wilshere did not want to take another job in League One.
