Leicester success down to both Pearson and Ranieri - Vardy

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has credited both former manager Nigel Pearson and current boss Claudio Ranieri for the ongoing successful run of the club.


The Foxes, surprisingly, sit at the top of the Premier League after 13 rounds of the 2015/16 season but not one man can take the credit for the early-season success according to star striker Vardy.

The 28-year-old told Sky Sports: "It's credit to both of them. We had a good thing at the end of the season, obviously the managers have changed and that's down to the club. The new manager has come in and not changed much, but it has brought a benefit to the team which shows where we are at the moment.

"When a new manager comes in it is all new players to him, but he's kept most of the old staff on, who can tell him where the strengths and weaknesses are. That's probably another reason why we are where we are."
