The 2020/21 Premier League campaign drew to a close last weekend, and it's now time for a bit of rest and relaxation before the Euros get underway next month.
And what better way for England’s top tier's bosses to let down their wildly varying degrees of hair length than a seven-day jaunt to the thinking man's party capital of Spain - Magaluf.
When the pubs reopened in England last month, you may have joined us as a fly on the wall at the NationalWorld Arms, as the top tier's coaches descended for an evening of frivolity.
Now, we cordially invite you to join us on a trip of a lifetime, as we follow all twenty Premier League managers to finish the 2020/21 campaign on a jaunt to sunny Magaluf, for a memorable week of bonding and banter in Majorca...

5. Sam Allardyce - West Brom
"Full English, por favor!" Big Sam roars, brandishing a grubby five pound note in an upmarket tapas restaurant. A grim looking tinned breakfast is found lurking in a cupboard and the contents drop onto the gleeful Baggies boss' plate in one solid mass. The rest of the week is spent within the confines of the studio apartment lavatory, much to the chagrin of roommate Sammy Lee. Photo: RICHARD HEATHCOTE
6. David Moyes - West Ham United
Rocking a stunning blue and white striped bathing costume and straw boater, Moysey skips down to the beach, unfurling a deck chair and wind breaker. After an exhausting season, the Scotsman immediately falls into a deep, deep sleep. He's burnt to a crisp in the searing sun, ruining his trip on day one. Photo: DAVE ROGERS
7. Paul Heckingbottom - Sheffield United
"Ch...Chrissy?! Is that you?!" Heckingbottom gasps. And there he is, Chris Wilder, now showcasing a pony-tail and Hawaiian shirt, laying down tune after tune behind the decks at Crystal's Bar. The Blades caretaker clasps his former superior in a sweaty embrace, before the pair don matching helmets and give Magaluf the full Daft Punk treatment. Photo: JUSTIN SETTERFIELD
8. Roy Hodgson - Crystal Palace
Speaker of five languages, Hodgson is more than at home on the continent. Sauntering around in the heat, decked out in a dazzling cream suit and Panama hat, the now former Crystal Palace boss negotiates directions to the train station, library and even the local swimming baths with ease.
