Top 5: The former Premier League managers set to return to the dugout

Nigel Pearson

Pearson could be in-demand for Championship clubs.

Having had huge success with Leicester City in recent years, Nigel Pearson could be very much sought after in the Championship.

He has been linked with almost every available job in the second tier of English football, particularly those at Fulham and QPR.

Having guided the Foxes to the Premier League and kept them there in some fashion last season, he has shown he has the capabilities to get clubs to the top and keep them there, something QPR in particular have failed to do recently.
