Nigel Pearson has accepted a Football Association charge following an incident with a fan during Leicester's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.
Pearson was charged by the FA with having "used abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator" during the match on December 2.
Leicester supporters' groups called on Pearson to apologise at the time, but the manager said: "I've had run-ins with fans in the past and sometimes, in the heat of the moment, these things happen but there certainly won't be any apology, let's put it like that.
'If people were offended by what happened in some ways that is regrettable, but there's no need for me to apologise to someone of that ilk."
Pearson has requested a personal hearing at a date to be decided.
The 51-year-old led Leicester to promotion last season but, since beating Manchester United 5-3 in September, his side have taken just two points from a possible 33 to sit bottom of the table.
