The Leicester City boss expressed his regret to a reporter for likening him to the large flightless bird after Wednesday's defeat to Chelsea.The journalist that Nigel Pearson called an "ostrich" has received an apology from the Leicester City manager.Pearson launched into an extraordinary rant after Wednesday's 3-1 Premier League loss to Chelsea, comparing reporter Ian Baker to the bird that is widely - and incorrectly - thought to bury its head in the sand.The City boss - who also labelled Baker "stupid" and "daft" after taking exception to one of his questions about criticism of his players - was in front of the media again on Thursday ahead of the match against Newcastle and said sorry for his outburst.He said: "Apologies for last night. I think it is right to do it in front of the cameras and hope it does not ruin our relationship."Baker later tweeted to confirm that he had accepted the apology.
