Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson joint-third favourite for vacant Leicester position

Nigel Pearson is in the running to take the vacant managerial position at Leicester City following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers on Sunday, according to the bookies.

The Foxes are looking for a new manager after defeat against fellow relegation candidates Crystal Palace at the weekend left them second from bottom, one point adrift of safety. Rodgers was dismissed on Sunday following a run of five defeats in six and two wins in his last 13 league matches.

Pearson is currently joint third favourite at 12/1 with SkyBet along with three other names in ex-Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhutl, Celtic's Ange Postecoglou and Steven Gerrard - currently without a club after his sacking from Aston Villa earlier in the season.
