' PREMIER LEAGUE MANAGER SACKED '

Sky sources: Leicester City have sacked manager Nigel Pearson.

Leicester are bottom of the Barclays Pemier League and four points from safety.
The Foxes were promoted from the Championship last season, but have struggled in the Premier League and Pearson has paid the price for the club being at the bottom of the league.
Leicester have won just four games this season with five draws from their 24 matches and have just 14 games to save their season

Leicester City have dismissed reports that they have sacked Nigel Pearson as manager and stated that he will be in charge for Tuesday night’s trip to play Arsenal.

Despite several sources confirming to the Guardian that the 51-year-old had left his post after a meeting with the club’s owners on Sunday, the club issued a statement denying that any decision had been taken.

“Leicester City Football Club would like to clarify its position relative to its manager, Nigel Pearson,” read the statement.

“Contrary to media speculation on Sunday evening, Nigel remains the Club’s First Team Manager. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate and without foundation.

“Nigel, his staff and the first team squad are entirely focused on Tuesday night’s trip to Arsenal and our continued efforts to secure our position in the Barclays Premier League.”
