Phil Neville has applied his own impression on Everton as he overhauls his staff team.
Assistant Manager Steve Round followed the trail of David Moyes to Manchester United, where he penned a six-year deal. To fill his shoes, Everton have made a bizarre appointment - that of Pescara Under-20 coach Luigi Iervese.
The Italian, 46, has only worked with one professional club - namely Pescara - and as such comes as a surprising choice by the former Everton captain, especially considering Everton legends Stubbs and Weir were in the frame for the job.
The real shock, however, are the rest of the departures from the backroom.
Aside from head of youth development Alan Irvine, reserves manager Andy Holden, youth coach Duncan Ferguson, physio Richie Porter and Neil Dewsnip - who received a promotion to the manager of the under-18 squad - all other staff members have had their contracts terminated.
"This was one of the things that Phil was very particular about when he took the job. He wanted his own staff, he wanted everything to be done the way he has planned it. Of course, it's sad seeing almost all of the old bunch leaving, but the new guys have come here and started working from day one. Phil likes to micromanage and he's involved in so many things even though it's so early on and I doubt the lad has gotten a decent rest since he's taken on the job." said chairman Kenwright.
Inter's Sergio Zanetti will join former Blackburn staff member Mark Howard in the first team coaching department, while former Italian international Franco Tancredi will be in charge of the goalkeepers. Everton's medical team will be lead by 50-year-old Pete Friar and West Ham's Jimmy Hampson will take charge of the Blues' scouting missions.
