It's all change on Filbert Way this summer for Leicester City Football Club because the squad is undergoing a significant period of transition. Many players will leave the club, and it is assumed that every current fan favourite shall unfortunately be included in that departing number.
In addition to that mass exodus, new manager Russell Martin ( fairly prompt yet not particularly desired appointment for the City support) is now in place. However, there is a mounting fear that his backroom staff has not yet been assembled, which could severely hinder general and free transfer business while critical movements are being decided or made.
Not to mention the risk of valuable loan opportunities potentially being directed elsewhere; it remains imperative that coaches join the project soon. Aside from Andy King.
"Kingy" will reportedly stay on as a first-team coach; a decision the Leicester faithful will certainly appreciate. Martin must therefore be getting down to some business in LE2.
Although, some observers find it hard to see how playing arrivals will be secured when the non-playing staff are yet to be compiled. Nevertheless, the former Scotland international was supposedly eyeing a reunion with two of his former managerial teammates to bolster his technical area.
Russell Martin's mates at Leicester City
Firstly, Rhys Owen at Rangers is ostensibly on the 40-year-old's list of wanted associates, and he may still arrive in Leicestershire. Secondly, Matt Gill was apparently desired for a spot in Martin's coaching group, but that move will not be happening following what was a likely poaching attempt from the City boss.
"Matt Gill is remaining at The Hawthorns as Assistant Head Coach," a club statement said. "WBA via LCFC Live
West Bromwich Albion, Gill's current employers, indirectly addressed apparent interest from organisations such as LCFC. They firmly confirmed that the Englishman will remain as James Morrison's assistant at the Hawthorns, and not be transferred to the Foxes. This represents an early and rather unfortunate setback in Martin's tenure.
