(Reuters) - Watford manager Nigel Pearson has galvanised the club since he took charge in December and has transformed the Premier League side into an efficient counter-attacking team, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday.
Watford, who host Rodgers's Leicester side on Saturday, had only one win and were at the bottom of the standings when Pearson was appointed.
"He's held in high regard here and the players who worked with him for long periods have respect for the work he's done," Rodgers said as his side prepare for their first game of the restarted season. Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, who is one goal shy of 100 Premier League goals, will be making his 300th appearance for the club on Saturday.
