Mark Hughes raised plenty of eyebrows when he pitched up at League Two side Bradford City in February.
The latest port of call in the 58-year-old's managerial career looked more like an appointment that would be expected in the reality world of video game series Football Manager.
The post represented Hughes' first job in football since leaving Southampton in December 2018. And he is fully aware many will have questioned why someone who had only ever bossed in the top flight would suddenly be ready to drop into the fourth tier. But in an in-depth interview Hughes has revealed how he chose to accept the offer proposed by City because it is the "right project at the right time".
