In just a matter of hours, Bournemouth dispensed of Gary O'Neil's services and turned to one of Spain's hottest managerial prospects in Andoni Iraola.
The club have been accused of lacking direction in the past when between head coaches but this time, there would be no repeat. Indeed, ambitious owner Bill Foley displayed his ruthlessness when sacking O'Neil and quickly bagging his successor.
Iraola, who was carefully monitored by Bournemouth and previously a target, became available after leaving Rayo Vallecano at the end of the season, having guided them to success over his three-year spell despite a modest budget.
