Leicester are expected to name Nigel Pearson as their new manager at a press conference on Friday morning.


The former Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday captain looks set to be unveiled at an announcement scheduled for 10.30am as the Foxes end their search for a successor to Ian Holloway.

Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric parted company with Holloway at the end of last season following the club's relegation from the Championship.

However, Mandaric now appears to have found the man he hopes will help Leicester out of League One.

Pearson was controversially replaced as Southampton manager by Jan Poortvliet at the end of last season after only three months in charge, despite helping the club avoid relegation on the last day of the campaign at the expense of Leicester.

However, Pearson - who has also had caretaker spells in charge of Newcastle, West Brom and the England Under 21s - now appears to have found a new job.

He must be mad to work for Mandaric. He has a trigger finger, 6 managers in 18 months!! Leicester is a grave yard for managers. Hope it go's well for him...............I'll give it 6 months.
