Premier League side Leicester City has shown Nigel Pearson the door, despite him keeping the club up last season
Leicester City has sacked manager Nigel Pearson despite his feat of keeping the club in the Premier League.
The 51-year-old completed a great escape at the Midlands club, guiding the Foxes to safety in their first season back in the Premier League after looking destined for an immediate return to the Championship.
Pearson was widely reported to be on the verge of being shown the door in February, but stayed on in the role and secured a 14th-place finish after Leicester was bottom with seven games remaining.
