Nigel Pearson quiet over Leicester City vacancy

Hull City manager Nigel Pearson has refused to answer claims that he is in line to rejoin former club Leicester City.

The Foxes are looking for a new boss after they sacked Sven-Goran Eriksson last month.

"Speculation is speculation and I don't know anything about it," Pearson told Sky Sports News.

"You'll have to ask the club [whether there has been an approach from Leicester].

"Why should I comment? I don't ask for reassurance when people are having a moan about me. I just get on with my job."

Pearson's Hull lost 2-0 at home to West Ham United on Saturday.
