“Approach it with fresh energy.” 🗣️

Our new Manager lays out his vision for the season ahead and beyond.

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

Well here we go then, he’s here, so he’s got to be backed. Really hope it works out.

He joins with a mountain to climb to win over a lot of the fans already, so good luck to him.

Happy someone’s in now though, let’s get some recruitment and preparation going for the season.

[Leicester City @LCFC]

Give him the armband if we can keep him.

Only his fifth appearance since 2024 and he’s starring at a World Cup.

He’s got be backed now he’s here, both in the stands and with transfers.

But sadly, if any tiny thing goes wrong, he’ll instantly be fighting an uphill battle.

Hoping it all works out 🤞

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

So it’s done.

Clearly not going to go down well, but it’s happened now, let’s get on with it.

A club at an all time low combined with a manager whose reputation is at all time low…

Could that be a decent match to build both parties back up?

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

Here we go, it was inevitable.

[John Percy @JPercyTelegraph]

#lcfc are in advanced talks with Russell Martin for the head coach role. Nothing agreed/signed yet but Martin emerging as the top target for the big rebuild in League One https://t.co/1FhHjq0Zka

More on Jeremy Monga and Arsenal.

Advanced talks taking place with Leicester after Monga picked #AFC over several other clubs.

A full verbal agreement is close.🦊

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are pushing to advance on Jeremy Monga deal with Leicester City and player’s camp.

Discussions ongoing as Monga has opened doors to the move to #AFC.

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

I can’t believe they’re back to doing this again. Just invites negativity.

It works as a social post if the club’s doing well and players are loved.

But when the unhappiness and backlash is so clear, it makes no sense.

[Leicester City @LCFC]

Happy birthday, Stephy 🎈

Claudio takes in his surroundings 🇮🇹🏟️

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

@joshholland39 Congrats mate!

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Lyndon Dykes is assessing his options having received an offer from Charlton to stay at the club.

Understand Millwall and Leicester have also made approaches to sign him as a free agent.

Dykes is off to the World Cup with Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Major honours and major moments 👏

It’s been a pleasure, Kasper 💙

[Jack Johnson @JackJ_]

A true Leicester legend 💙

The standards at the club dropped the moment Schmeichel was let go and look where that's led us.

What a pro, what a goalkeeper.
