Next Leicester City Manager Betting

Championship side Leicester City are managed by Nigel Pearson who was appointed in November 2011. The club sacked Sven Goran Eriksson on 24th October following an inconsistent start to the season. The club's owners are very ambitious and Pearson will be expected to lead the club into the play-offs next season.

Leicester spent heavily in the summer transfer window, with Sven splashing the cash as attempted to mould together a squad of high calibre players who could be capable of winning promotion to the Premier League. The club were instantly installed as the pre-season favourites to go up but after a very disappointing start the owners decided it was time for a change.

Pearson previously managed Leicester between 2008 and 2010, guiding the club to the League One title in his very first season. They continued their good form under him the following year where they reached the Championship play-offs only to suffer the heartbreak of losing on penalties. Pearson decided to leave the club to join Hull in June 2010 citing a difficult relationship with Chief Executive Lee Hoos and owner Milan Mandaric.

However, he rejoined Leicester in November 2011 but was unable to guide them into the play-offs, with the club finishing in 9th.
