The confirmation that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now permanent manager of Manchester United is an easy transition for fans.
But for the 46-year-old's family it will be a big change as they move from Norway to England.
The former striker revealed that his wife Silje and their three children will be moving back to the area following his appointment as boss, the Manchester News reports .
Lucky for them they already have a place to move into - in Nether Alderley, a leafy Cheshire parish between Alderley Edge and Macclesfield.
It happens to be a house they started building in 2007, Ole's last season at United.
"We have really enjoyed the last eight years living in Norway,” he said.
"Of course it's going to be a change for them, but we're looking forward to it I've got to say.
"The six months that we agreed on, as a family that we'd do it separate because there was not any or use or need to move them over - that's gone now.
"Now we move in together and we built a house - or I started it - in 2007 and finally in 2019 we can move into it.
"That's long planning!"
Plans for the home were submitted to Macclesfield council, showing how it would be an "eco-pad", built in a Scandinavian fashion.
When plans for the home were submitted, one neighbour said: "I have heard he is a nice man and I believe he has a young family so it will lovely to have kids around.
"I just hope it doesn't spoil the layout of the lane."
The planning document stated: "Their vision for the house was a fusion of contemporary and traditional architecture, with high quality materials which would contribute to the area."
During his caretaker job, Silje, 44, and their kids Noah, 18, Karna, 15, and Elijah, 10, lived apart from Ole.
Now, as he takes on arguably the most important role of his career, Silje’s decision to support her husband and uproot her family for him is a testament to their relationship.
But it was perhaps not a big surprise that she would do this - after all, Silje’s spent her life moving with his job and is credited with being the secret behind his success.
She moved to Stockport, with Ole - who played 366 times for United when he joined the club in 1996 - until he left in 2007 after announcing his retirement from football following a serious knee injury.
After stints as a coach and the club’s reserve team manager, in 2011, Ole returned with his family to their native country while he managed his former club, Molde, before they moved back to the UK in 2014, where he served as manager of Cardiff City for nine months.
In 2015, it was back to Norway again when he rejoined Molde.
Far from being a ‘WAG’ - Silje is immersed in the world of sport.
According to Ole she was a “very good football player” herself, who he looked forward to training with as a youngster.
The pair first met while football training at Clausenengen Fotballklubb in their native Kristiansund, Norway - and he was smitten.
Ole told Dagbladet magazine in 2015: “Silje was also a very good football player. We often trained together when we were younger.
“In Clausenengen we had a talent group in the morning that I really was too old for , but I was allowed to be with anyway.
“Actually, I would just because Silje was.”
His patience paid off, and in 1992 the pair officially got together, later marrying in 2004.
Ole’s position at United comes after the sacking of Jose Mourinho in December, following a catastrophic first half of the season for the club.
He’s gone on to turn the Old Trafford side around, and they’re now back on track as credible threats to the Premier League top three.
