Nigel Pearson does not fear Leicester City sack

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson does not fear for his job despite the Foxes' dismal Premier League form.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has insisted that he does not fear for his job as his team's Premier League woes continued on Sunday.

Bottom-of-the-table Leicester went down 2-1 to Aston Villa yesterday afternoon for what was an eighth defeat in 10 league outings for Pearson's side.

Furthermore, City have not managed a victory since beating Manchester United 5-3 on September 21, but the Foxes boss is convinced that he has the quality in his squad to turn things around.

"There is no point me worrying," he told Sky Sports News. "Of course I am a proud man, I want to stay in charge but there is no point allowing those added pressures to affect how I am doing my job.

"We have the players we have, I still have a lot of belief in them and likewise they are behind the staff.

"Football remains a business in which margins are small and let us face it most managers in this game, and certainly this division, have felt the heat in terms of pressure to get results."

Things get no easier for Pearson and co as they host Premier League champions Manchester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
