Van Nistelrooy was appointed as Steve Cooper’s successor back in November following a brief but positive temporary tenure in charge at Manchester United.
Nevertheless, after managing just five victories from 26 league games throughout his humiliating tenure, the Dutchman was ultimately unable to keep the Foxes in the top level.
In an attempt to gain permission from the club’s leadership to spearhead a Championship promotion push, the Leicester manager has made his ambitions for the upcoming campaign public.
A new article from The Mail, on the other hand, says that Martin is in the running to replace the former Old trafford striker.
Van Nistelrooy is planning to leave soon after meeting with important people in Leicester.
Since Southampton stripped him of his responsibilities in December, Martin has been unemployed, reports Mirror.
However, the Saints failed to improve their performance either, and they will return to the Championship with Leicester the following season.
The story says that Martin has not yet agreed to replace Van Nistelrooy, but that an agreement is likely to be finalized in the next few days.
