Bristol City has sacked manager Nigel Pearson after a string of poor results, leaving the club in 15th place in the Championship.
Another one of Leeds United’s Championship rivals have sacked their manager after Nigel Pearson was relieved of his duties by Bristol City after two-and-a-half years at the club. The Robins had lost three of their last four league games, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Elland Road before the international break. Since returning to action, City beat Coventry but have lost to Ipswich Town and Cardiff. Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to the Welsh club proved to be Pearson’s last in charge.
Nigel is highly respected by the staff and players and has been very supportive of the Academy structure and our Women’s team. We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.” The 60-year-old leaves with the club 15th in the Championship.
