"It feels amazing and I'm so happy to be here. It feels like a homecoming, coming back to England, and I'm really happy," the Switzerland international told Leicester's official channels.

"Leicester is an amazing club. I've seen the training ground and, of course, the stadium. They want to push women's football forward."

Since March 2025, Lehmann has been one of the more prominent head coaches at the Baller League, where she leads MVPs United alongside presenter Maya Jama.

MVPs United finished second from bottom in Baller League season two, which finished earlier this month.

Lehmann joins a Leicester side sitting ninth in the Women's Super League.
