Pearson Sacked by Leicester City!

Leicester City have sacked manager Nigel Pearson due to “fundamental differences” between the manager and the club’s owners. This comes after a surprising 14th place finish in the Premier League for the Foxes.

A great run by Leicester towards the end of the season defused the tension created by possible relegation. It was a roller coaster of a campaign for the 51 year-old, who seemed to crack under the pressure of managing at the top flight on more than one occasion. The team remained at  the bottom for weeks, and the odds were stacked incredibly against Pearson, but he turned it around for both himself and the team.

It is understood that his relations with the owners was stretched beyond measure, mainly due to his laid back nature. King Power Stadium supported the man and it is shocking news for the fans, who anticipated that Pearson would usher in consistency and glory in due course.

He managed to earn only 41 points with 7 home wins and 4 away and 19 Defeats overall in Premier League.

Stay tuned for updates about Pearson’s replacement and his new ventures!
