Martin: Don't judge me on Leicester's past

Russell Martin says Leicester City's history shouldn't define his tenure as he rebuilds in League One.

What happened. Leicester City boss Russell Martin urged fans not to judge him based on the club's past success or recent relegations, saying he wants to be judged on his own work.

• Leicester were relegated twice after winning the 2021 FA Cup.
• Martin previously guided Southampton to Premier League promotion.
• He was appointed under new sporting director James McCarron.

“We have to find our own way and then be judged on that.”

Martin aims to revive his reputation after a difficult spell at Rangers last season.
