Ian Holloway has been appointed Queens Park Rangers manager, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal at the west London club.
And the 53-year-old, who managed Rangers earlier in his career, cannot wait to get started at Loftus Road.
“I feel honoured, privileged and proud. It's a huge moment for me and I am delighted to be back here," Holloway told the club's official website.
“I feel this is the right time for me. I feel like I'm back home now and I can't wait to get started.
“I care deeply for this football club and I want to help Les, Lee and our wonderful owners create something we can all be proud of.
“Does anyone know this club better than me? Probably not. Has it changed much? Maybe. But I know what it means to everyone out there.
“People would die for this club – and I want our players to show that in their performance, and our fans to show them that they care about the players as much as I will do as their manager.
“My job is to try and help this squad improve and create an environment that the players can succeed in, especially at Loftus Road, where the fans love to see players express themselves.
“I want to try and galvanise this squad and make my owners smile. Hopefully this is the start of something here.”

Holloway has been out of work since being sacked by Millwall in March 2015 but has made a surprise return to Loftus Road.
Rangers are languishing in 17th place in the Championship table, having endured a difficult start to the season under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, but promotion appears to still be the club's target.
The Rs have won just five of their opening 16 games this term and are currently six points outside the play-off places.
