(Reuters) - Tim Sherwood inspired Aston Villa to a 2-1 FA Cup fifth round win over Leicester City on Saturday and appeared equally upbeat when he met the media on Monday -- his first official day as the club's new manager.

Sherwood, watching Villa labour in a drab first half at Villa Park, went into the dressing room at the break and was punching the air in delight as Scott Sinclair's late strike put them 2-0 ahead after an improved second half performance.
