Leicester City hero Gerry Taggart says Brendan Rodgers has been key to Jamie Vardy's form revival.
Vardy has profited from Rodgers placing faith in him and sits top of the Premier League's Golden Boot race with 16 - five clear of Chelsea's Tammy Abraham.
"Rodgers has realised that Vardy is the focal point of the team," said Taggart to the Daily Mail.
"He'd dropped off under the previous manager but under the previous manager but under Rodgers he has concentrated just on getting goalscoring chances, getting into the box and getting Vardy on the end of them.
"If you were going to analyse the season and where Leicester are sitting in the league at the moment, you'd have to say it's a surprise for everybody. But they have shown they have the staying power.
"Rodgers has brought a slightly different style of football in from the previous manager and it's been working for him.
"Everyone talks about the attacking style that Leicester have now but there's a really solid defensive base as well - they've conceded the least amount of goals in the Premier League.
"There is a bit of everything with Leicester City at the moment and that is a very positive sign."
