Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard says he is determined to repay Enzo Maresca for resurrecting his career.
The 31-year-old failed to make a Premier League appearance as the Foxes were relegated last term, and was banished by ex-boss Brendan Rodgers after criticising him in an interview.
Vestergaard has played in 16 of their 17 league games this season, helping them to the top of the Championship.
"He [Maresca] has given everyone a fresh start," Vestergaard said.
"He has shown me a lot of trust, I've gained a lot of confidence and I'm trying to pay it back.
