David Moyes has managed to land club football's biggest job after being confirmed as Sir Alex Ferguson's replacement on a six-year deal.
But a move to Manchester United is a huge step-up for a man who has been in charge of Everton since March 2002.
It's a daunting prospect, but there are certain steps Moyes can take to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible...
1. Bring in a midfielder: Fergie appeared determined not to sign a central midfielder, much to the annoyance of United fans, so recruiting Marouane Fellaini would be an easy win for Moyes.
2. Change his watch to Fergie time: We all know the scoreboards at Old Trafford are located on a different plane of the space-time continuum, so Moyes might want to get prepared for the fact that the seconds will slow when he needs a late goal.
3. Spend some money: Moyes has always worked on the tightest of budgets at Everton, so now it's time to let loose and splash some cash. Go on Davie, treat yourself.
4. Do something with Bebe: Something ... anything. Just get him off the books.
5. Expand his wine collection: Opposing managers come to Old Trafford expecting to get a taste of the good stuff. Moyes must carry on this tradition for fear of alienating his thirsty contemporaries.
6. Make friends with Howard Webb: Well, he has to continue that special relationship, doesn't he?
7. Plug in his hairdryer: The United players expect a blast or two on occasion, and Moyes will need to try and strike fear into their hearts as Fergie once did.
8. Make friends with Fred the Red: He's one of the Old Trafford powerbrokers, arguably more influential than the Glazers, and needs to be won over if Moyes is to settle in quickly.
9. Start banning journalists: There can be no let-up after Fergie's reign of terror. Ban reporters and do it with enthusiasm.
10. Sort out Wayne Rooney's situation: The striker's second attempt to secure a transfer in three seasons has predictably gone down like a lead balloon with fans. Either sell the striker, or get him to toe the line, as the current situation is helping no-one.
11. Sign Ronaldo: No one single act could endear Moyes to United fans as bringing back one of their favourite sons. Sign Ronaldo and the rest follows...
