It set the tone for the entire match: the Whites faithful's hands were almost worn out in continuous ovation as the eccentric Argentine instantly made his presence felt in a stunning 3-1 win over Stoke City to kick off the Championship in perfect fashion.

The arrival of the former Argentina, Athletic, Marseille and Lille boss in Yorkshire was one of the shocks of the summer.
