Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has accepted the FA charge following a bust-up with a fan and has requested a personal hearing.
The City boss was charged with using "abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator" during his side's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.
The FA announced the charge on December 11, after a video emerged on social media which apparently showed Pearson swearing at a fan in the stand behind the home dugout, and the City boss had until 6pm yesterday to respond.
The date of Pearson's personal hearing before an Independent Regulatory Commission, which will determine the scale of any punishment, will be decided in due course
