Nigel Pearson has had a second interview with Wolverhampton Wanderers, to discuss their managerial vacancy, Sky Sources understand.

Pearson was sacked by Derby last month, after just four months in charge. He's keen to get back into management as soon as possible, and is excited by the opportunity, we have been told.

Three-man shortlist to replace sacked Wolves boss Walter Zenga

He is not the only contender for the job, however. Former Aston Villa and Norwich manager Paul Lambert's representatives have held talks with the club and Tim Sherwood is the final name on the club's shortlist, but it's thought he's yet to meet with club officials.
