Nigel Pearson is happy to be again involved with Leicester City.

The former City boss is manager of OH Leuven, Leicester's Belgian sister club, and the two teams went head-to-head at Belvoir Drive on Wednesday.

"It was nice to be invited back by Leicester City," said Pearson. "Both clubs got a lot out of this training match, for the players it is an interesting experience to discover Leicester's training ground.

“We have already invested in our training centre in Oud-Heverlee and the players see here in Leicester in which direction we're heading.

"It was an exciting meeting. The boys were really looking forward to this challenge.

“The most important thing for us is that we performed pretty well against players who have achieved some success there."
