Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has been named the npower Championship manager of the month for January.
Pearson was given the award after City won four consecutive games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just two, as they surged into second spot in the table.
Speaking about Pearson's win, panel member Alan Curbishley commented: "It's been a fantastic month for Nigel Pearson with Leicester City winning all of their games whilst also scoring freely in the npower Championship.
"The Foxes are now in a great position as we approach the business end of the season."
