Marcelo Bielsa arrived at Leeds United intriguing reputation - and boy has he delivered.
'El Loco' translated as the Crazy One, has played his part in so many extraordinary moments this season and we've had the difficult task of wiggling them down to just 15. Click and scroll through the pages to discover the moments we've gone with:
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa
He was VERY complimentary on his arrival: "I have always felt it was important to wait for the right project to come along and so when a club with Leeds United's history made me an offer, it was impossible to turn down."
Stoke City were tipped as the early favourites to achieve immediate promotion to the Premier League, though it was Bielsa and co that would stamp their authority, dismantling Gary Rowetts side 3-1.
Photographers gathered round to watch Bielsa take his seat in the Elland Road dugout for the first time, yet would be met by the Argentines infamous blue bucket. I have nothing to add. It's a comfortable bucket," he said.
Bielsa and Lamrani come as a pair! On the opening day, Bielsa admirable attempted to speak English with Lamranis help. However, now, Lamrani does the talking for the former Marseille manager.
My goal is to publicly apologise to Crespo because I know I didnt tell him the truth. It was a lecture forever, I learned that lecture, but it was something I already knew. Crespo accepted his apology...
Remember that screamer Patrick Bamford scored in training that was well-publicised? Yeah, the goal was good, but Bielsa's reaction was even better, running around 50 yards with his arms wide open ready to embrace his summer signing.
