(Reuters) - Oud-Heverlee Leuven have appointed former Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson as their new manager, replacing Dutchman Dennis van Wijk, the Belgian second-tier club said on Friday.

Pearson will be reunited with Leicester City owners King Power International, who bought the Belgian side in May after they narrowly avoided relegation last season.
