Leicester City and Celtic in advanced talks for new managers

Former Rangers head coach Russell Martin is reported to be in advanced negotiations with Leicester City. The club, a former Premier League champion now playing in the third tier of English football, is seeking a rebuild and views Martin as a candidate to lead a promotion push.

Celtic are exploring the possibility of appointing former Liverpool boss Arne Slot as their permanent manager. Slot, who left Liverpool after a title‑winning season and has a strong reputation from his time at Feyenoord, is seen as a way to boost Celtic’s European ambitions after domestic success.

Both clubs are evaluating high‑profile managers to shape their future direction, with Leicester focusing on a domestic resurgence and Celtic targeting greater continental competitiveness.
