It has just turned 3.08pm on Saturday and a white jeep has come to a crunching halt outside OH Leuven's Den Dreef stadium.
With the exception of a few stewards, the place is deserted, but that does not matter to the man who has just parked up. Out hops Nigel Pearson, resplendent in a grey suit, and he strides in statesmanlike fashion across the car park.
This genteel university town, 30 minutes outside Brussels, is a million miles from the frenzy of English football, but it is where Pearson is relaunching his managerial career, in Belgium's second division.
