Nigel Pearson says he won't walk away from Leicester City.
Leicester remain bottom, and an acid test both for manager and team will come when they return to the King Power Stadium to host Manchester City on Saturday.
"Of course I am a proud man, I want to stay in charge but there is no point allowing these added pressures to affect how I am doing my job," he said.
"I am being rational about the situation we are in and being prepared to work through what is a difficult time."
