Carlos Carvalhal arrived in English football two and a half years ago with a reputation as a restless wanderer, having skipped through 15 different jobs in as many years.
Just like his playing career, which started with hometown Braga and saw him never stay anywhere for long, his managerial career has been wildly nomadic.
He left his native Portugal in the post-Mourinho wave of coaching exports and ventured briefly into Greece and Turkey before landing at Sheffield Wednesday in 2015 after three fallow years.
The Portuguese soon grew tired of national media interest in his friendships with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and his trusty sidekick Rui Faria.
