Foxes name Pearson as boss

League One Leicester have named former Albion assistant and caretaker boss Nigel Pearson as their new manager.

Pearson, 44, becomes the Foxes’ sixth manager since chairman Milan Mandaric took over at the Walkers Stadium 16 months ago.

He said: “I am delighted I have been given this magnificent opportunity to revitalise the fortunes of this great club after what has been a difficult few years.

“I am confident my style of management can help bring the good times back to Leicester City.”
