'The Office: An American Workplace' broke the mould, capturing the essence of Ricky Gervais' original masterpiece, but moving forward to create its own legacy as a stone cold comedy classic.
Now, you must be wondering what on earth the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin has got to do with the Premier League managers, and that's a fair question.
The answer? Characters. Both the US Office and the English top tier boast a wealth of wildly varying characters, fraught with flaws and complexities - the parallels between the two seemingly disparate institutions are simply crying out to be explored.
And so, allow us to whisk you off to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and present the alternative US Office star cast, with Premier League managers stepping into the iconic roles:
13. Scott Parker - Jim Halpert
Would Scott Parker enrage Marcelo Bielsa by suspending his precious squatting bucket in jelly? Damn straight he would. The dreamy office prankster, Scotty P is Fulham's very own Jim Halpert. Photo: KIRSTY WIGGLESWORTH
14. Jose Mourinho - Jan Levinson
In the final season of The Office, we were treated to a video Jan presumably masterminded, which involved her singing, from the perspective of her daughter, about what a sensational mother she is. That just screams 'The Special One'. Photo: NICK POTTS
15. David Moyes - Toby Flenderson
Based largely on physical appearance, there's a striking similarity between the pair. And who's to say Moyesy doesn't fill his hours away from West Ham penning never-to-be-read detective novels based on his cooler alter-ego Chad Moyes? Photo: Pool
16. Graham Potter - Pam Beesly
Relatively young, brimming with artistic flair but yet to find the confidence to truly kick on with his career, Potter matches up smartly with an early-season Pam. "Brighton & Hove Albion, this is Gram" is undoubtedly how he answers the AMEX phones. Photo: GLYN KIRK
