Derby County boss Nigel Pearson has spoken of his sacking by Leicester City.

Leicester said at the time of the sacking that their working relationship with Pearson was "no longer viable".

"It came as a big shock," Pearson told BBC Sport. "Some people say: 'Maybe you shouldn't be shocked.' But it came as a bit of a shock. A lot of a shock.

"And the timing, of course, is not great timing, really - just when pre-season is about to start. That happens in life sometimes.

"I'm talking about it now, and really, it's something I'm not overly fussed about talking about any more.

"It's a situation that has been dealt with over a period of time by myself and the family. We're all fine and we're all healthy - and we've moved on."
