Our cameras were with new boss Enzo Maresca every step of the way as he arrived in England, initially to Luton Airport and then on to Manchester.
As he nears a sun-drenched Manchester Airport, Enzo smiles, “Back!”
Then it’s off to the CFA and a warm welcome from Hugo Viana and a look around his new office, which has a nice message from Pep Lijnders waiting on the whiteboard.
As he soaks it all in, it’s then time for media and photoshoot duties - including the contract signing - with the Italian’s joy at becoming our new manager evident throughout.
