Paul Scholes
Scholes would be forgiven for thinking the management game was easy after getting off to a flying start with his boyhood club Oldham Athletic, winning his first game in charge against Yeovil 4-1.
It won't be as easy as that forever, something which Scholes has acknowledged as he aims to build a team that can challenge for promotion in 2019-20 but he is off to a promising start.
Prior to going into management, Scholes has played a quiet role at Salford City, while also building a reputation as a pundit who wasn't scared to say what he thinks.
Scholes reserved particular criticism for Jose Mourinho, during his time at Manchester United, often damning the style of football played by the Portuguese.
In fact, he recognised in his some of his first interviews in the job that he expected Mourinho to be playing close attention to his results as he takes his first steps into management.
