What an absolutely extraordinary week Luis Enrique has just had.
Exactly one year ago, he was about to rise from what seemed to be footballing ruins, and the events of the past few days have been a brilliant way to mark that anniversary.
In turn he has been idiosyncratic, daring and shrewd, but above all, the Barcelona manager has been true to himself.
It's one of the all-time great comeback stories.
For context, do you remember early January 2015? Barcelona appeared to be mired in crisis.
There was the standup row with Lionel Messi in training on the Friday before losing to Real Sociedad -- with the Argentinian and Neymar left on the bench -- followed by the sacking of Luis Enrique's friend and mentor Andoni Zubizarreta a couple of days later.
