Leicester manager Nigel Pearson calls journalist a prick [VIDEO]

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has had a 2014/15 Premier League season to forget. This is the same man who told a Leicester City supporter to “f*** off and die,” put an Crystal Palace footballer into a chokehold, was fired and then re-hired a couple of hours later, and has now called a journalist a “prick” during his post-match press conference after his team could only draw 0-0 against Hull City.

On top of all that, Leicester City still sit at the bottom of the Premier League table and are favorites to get relegated.

“How he still has a job is beyond me,” said Nate Abaurrea on this week’s episode of the World Soccer Talk podcast.

“The pressure of the Premier League has taken him to task,” added World Soccer Talk analyst Robin Burt.

Maybe it’s time for Nigel Pearson to look at himself in the mirror.
