Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson scoops Championship Manager of the Month award
NIGEL PEARSON has been rewarded for steering Leicester City to the brink of automatic promotion after being named Championship Manager of the Month for March.
The Foxes enjoyed an excellent month in which they recorded four wins from their six league games.
More significantly, their 2-0 win over Burnley last weekend has put them in the driving seat to go up to the Premier League as champions.
If results go their way, Leicester could secure their promotion as soon as tomorrow.
I've enjoyed every game I've played in. I've just tried to get game time again and show them what I can do
Meanwhile, QPR's on-line midfielder Ravel Morrison scooped the Player of the Month accolade.
"It's been really good. I've enjoyed every game I've played in. I've just tried to get game time again and show them what I can do," Morrison told Sky Sports.
"I've enjoyed it because we keep a lot of the ball. You get a lot of time in the Championship, too, so you can do more stuff on the ball."
