Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli believes Craig Shakespeare has Leicester playing like champions again.
The Argentinian, who turned 57 on Monday, has been impressed by the Foxes' revival ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday.
He also revealed his surprise at Claudio Ranieri's sacking which came just 24 hours after Sevilla beat the Foxes 2-1 in the first leg last month.
Shakespeare, installed as manager until the end of the season, has won his two games since Ranieri's exit and Sampaoli sees similarities from last season's 5,000-1 Premier League triumph.
