First games in charge do not come much bigger than the North London Derby, but that is what new interim Tottenham boss Igor Tudor is facing this weekend.
Spurs take on their fierce rivals Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the weekend's big Premier League match-up.
It being Tudor's first game in charge and Spurs staring down the barrel of a relegation battle is plot enough, but add in Arsenal being top of the table and gunning for their first Premier League title in 22 years, and the fact that they let a two-goal lead slip against bottom-of-the-table Wolves on Wednesday and there are sub-plots aplenty too.
Igor Tudor Has Already Sent Clear Message To Tottenham Fans
The Tottenham fans will be right up for the match, desperate, not only to push themselves further out of trouble at the bottom of the table, but to also put a nail in the coffin of the Gunners' title charge.
The supporters will also be relieved to see the end of Thomas Frank football, with the players and manager being booed off the field becoming a far too regular occurrence this season.
Tudor has to play a more attacking brand of football and he has already called on his new charges to "be brave" in his first interview with the club's media team.
He said: "I'm going to give everything that we have in the right way, brave but in the same way intelligent and smart to achieve what we want, and that's the victory."
"And about winning or drawing, the truth is I never saw the coach who said that he can play for a draw. It's not possible. So offensive football, yes, but smart, that's the key."
What Does A Spurs Team Look Like Under Igor Tudor?
Tudor is set to make changes, taking a more offensive approach than Frank before him. At previous clubs he has tended to set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with two No.10s in behind a main striker.
And that may play into the hands of two players in particular.
Dominic Solanke is likely to be the lone forward chosen, with Xavi Simons coming to the fore in recent weeks and months to shine in an attacking role behind the main striker.
But who could Tudor pick to play alongside Simons? The Croatian coach got the best out of Randal Kolo Muani during their time together at Juventus last season and he could be utilised alongside Simons. The Frenchman may be better suited to playing through the middle, however, having done so under Tudor at Juve.
The other option could be to play someone who was seemingly discarded by Frank - Mathys Tel.
The French U21 star struggled for game time under Frank, often confusing the Spurs fanbase as to why his direct running and urgency with the ball was not called upon more often.
Tim Sherwood Hit Out At Tel Earlier In The Season
Frank was often booed for his treatment of Tel, although former interim Spurs boss Tim Sherwood did not have kind words to say about the frontman during the defeat to West Ham last month. When Tel was replaced by Solanke, Sherwood said on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday: "Solanke is on for Tel. He’s not happy, Tel – you’ve been terrible mate, get off the pitch."
Tel could be a man rejuvenated under Tudor, with a position alongside Simons and the ability to float from central to wide areas potentially suiting the 20-year-old, who signed from Bayern Munich for £30million.
The frontman has bundles of talent and, working with Simons, could find pockets of space and make runs in behind to support Solanke - or Kolo Muani - from deeper to hurt the Arsenal backline.
Tudor's appointment could be perfect for Tel and we could finally be about to see his long-awaited arrival on the Premier League stage.
