Former Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has been approached by Sunderland as the club start their search for another new manager.
An Exclusive report in the Telegraph says that Sunderland are interested in a few managers on their shortlist and Pearson is one of them.
Pearson was sacked by Leicester in the summer after falling out with the owners about the sacking of his son, who was a player at the club.
Before that, Pearson was in charge of a remarkable end of season comeback by the Foxes which saw them fight off what seemed to be certain relegation earlier in the season. During that run, Leicester won seven out of the nine games they had remaining.
Pearson is said to be keen to find a way back into football and maybe Sunderland would be his best chance of returning to managing in the top flight.
Sam Allardyce and Sean Dyche are also high on Sunderland’s list of possible replacements for Dick Advocaat, with another, Harry Redknapp ruling himself out of the job.
Blimey, strange one. He did well to keep the Foxes up but what a bizarre character. Out of the frying pan and into the fire?
Nooooooooooo. This has got to be just paper talk, I don’t see him as the next boss, but aving said that if big sam isn’t interested, who in their right mind would be?
He is not my first choice but we need somebody who can bring back stability, he could do that with his no nonsence approach
If we were in the championship I wouldn’t mind Pearson, but not while we’re in the Prem……Simple answer is wait until the end of he season and appoint him after relegation
Enjoy your drop. your football deserves it
Thats hurtful you big bully, consider peoples feelings!
And just for the record, I think that Pearson could do a sterling job, he aint gonna win any trophies but he would steady the ship. He takes no ***** very disciplined
