Leicester set for managerial shake-up with Martin lined up to replace Van Nistelrooy

According to the Daily Mail, the Foxes have been in advanced talks with Russell Martin throughout the week, and an agreement is expected to be reached shortly.

The move would mark a swift return to management for the 39-year-old, who has been out of work since his dismissal from Southampton in December.

Van Nistelrooy, who took charge during a turbulent period, has seen his future thrown into uncertainty since Leicester City's relegation was confirmed.

With the club now preparing for life in the Championship, a managerial change appears imminent.
