Leicester close in on Hull City boss Pearson For how long will Nigel Pearson remain at Hull City? Picture: Gerard Binks
Hull City manager Nigel Pearson has requested permission to speak to Leicester about a return to the club, the Yorkshire Post understands.
It would be a big setback for the East Yorkshire club, whom Pearson has guided to ninth in the Championship - just one point outside the play-offs with a game in hand.
Although Hull rejected an initial approach from Leicester at the weekend, it is understood events have taken a fresh twist.
Sources in Leicester claim Pearson has spoken to Leicester’s representatives and that a return to the East Midlands may well be imminent.
There has been no official comment from either club at this stage.
Last week, Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark dismissed speculation linking him with the Foxes role, while ex-Leicester boss Martin O’Neill refused to comment on rumours he may return to his former job.
