Morgan and Shakespeare confident Foxes will regain title-winning form

From Premier League champions to mid-table obscurity, it’s been an eventful couple of seasons for Leicester City.

But for captain Wes Morgan, one thing the Foxes are not is mundane, something he is confident the City faithful will experience again next term.

Leicester shocked even the pluckiest of gamblers during the 2015-16 campaign, toppling the Premier League’s giants one-by-one on their way to the title.

Their dominance didn’t continue into another season, however, flirting with the relegation zone before manager Claudio Ranieri was replaced by Craig Shakespeare.

They ended the year in 12th place, and having reached the quarter-finals in their maiden Champions League campaign, skipper Morgan is confident the Foxes will soon be back to their best.

“I’d say it’s been an eventful three years,” said Morgan.

“Then ‘the great escape’ to survive in our first season, and then it goes without saying that the moment I lifted the Premier League trophy – that split second when I got my hands on it, lifted it above my head – will be etched in my mind forever.

“When you’re winning, everyone’s happy. You feel like you can beat anyone. And when you’re losing, you can get into a rut.

“You try and remain confident, but there’s more pressure to get a result every time you step on the pitch. The atmosphere changes.

“But at the same time, we knew what we were capable of and were desperate to find that form again.”

For boss Shakespeare, the rollercoaster ride at the King Power Stadium has been considerably longer, having been at the club for the best part of ten years over two spells.

But he, like Morgan, is confident this memorable chapter in City’s history is one that isn’t about to end any time soon.

“You wouldn’t like it mundane and the same thing week in, week out,” he said.

“We’re Leicester. That’s the way it is. We were in League One not too long ago.

“We’ve had a remarkable journey but let’s hope it’s not finished yet. Nothing should surprise you in football.

“Sometimes things disappoint you but nothing should surprise you.”
