As a player, Pearce had a long and distinguished career, during which he captained the England team and became one of the most highly regarded defenders his country has ever produced. He is best remembered for his time as captain of Nottingham Forest and his England international duties. He was still highly regarded as a first class defender when in his mid thirties. He finally retired as a player in 2002, by which time he was playing for Manchester City. He remained with the club as a coach until being promoted to the manager's job in 2005. He was manager of the club for two years before being dismissed. He is now manager of the England U-21 team, a position he held while he was still Manchester City manager. |
