Two days after Manchester United were drawn to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
In the build up to facing PSG in the first leg of that last-16 tie at Old Trafford on Tuesday, he now stands two matches from becoming Jose Mourinho's permanent successor.
His time in charge has been remarkable. An unbeaten run of 10 wins from 11 matches has brought a feel-good factor back to the club, moved them back into the top four of the Premier League and seen them advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
