Despite having a positive outlook at Bristol City, Nigel Pearson’s recent results have not been favorable. After losing to Cardiff and finding themselves in 15th place on the table, Pearson’s position became uncertain, leading to his departure. Alongside him, former Leicester physio David Rennie and first team coach Jason Euell also left the club.
Gareth Ainsworth faced a similar fate as he was forced to leave his managerial post at QPR shortly after their 2-1 defeat to Leicester. The team’s possession rate was a meager 29%, and with their position in the relegation zone, Ainsworth’s departure did not come as a surprise.
On the flip side, Claudio Ranieri made headlines with his Cagliari team. In a miraculous turn of events, they managed to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the 72nd minute against Frosinone. With four goals scored seemingly out of thin air, including two in stoppage time, Ranieri showcased his knack for miracles. This is a familiar feat for him, having previously brought glory to Leicester City during their remarkable 5000/1 title win eight years ago. He also had impressive results during his time at Watford, even leading to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal as Manchester United manager after a 4-1 defeat against Watford.
Ranieri’s career has been characterized by ups and downs. Before taking the Leicester job, he was fired as the national coach of Greece following a loss to Faroe Islands on home soil. Since leaving Leicester, he has had managerial stints at various clubs such as Nantes, Fulham, Roma, Sampdoria, Watford, and now Cagliari. While they have struggled in Serie A this season, their recent victory over Frosinone provides hope for a turnaround and a potential escape from relegation.
