Sousa must beat Scunthorpe to save Leicester job

Paulo Sousa has one game to save his job at Leicester City.

The Daily Mail says the Portuguese is facing the axe if the Foxes fail to beat Scunthorpe at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday.

Tuesday's 4-3 defeat at Norwich leaves Leicester bottom of the Championship with just one win in nine league games and having conceded 10 goals in their last two outings.

Chairman Milan Mandaric publicly backed his manager before the trip to Carrow Road but anything less than a win against the Iron will signal an end to Sousa's brief reign.

Leicester were League One champions in 2009 and last season reached the Championship play-offs under previous boss Nigel Pearson, who departed for Hull.

Now Mandaric is preparing to bring in his NINTH manager since taking control of the club in February 2007.
