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...

9. Steve Bruce - Newcastle United
"Stick it all on red!" Brucey shrieks gleefully, as a pile of gaming chips cascade onto the green felt casino table. In lieu of a transfer budget, Mike Ashley has given him €150 to gamble away. After a big win, the Magpies boss gets a little too carried away, and ends up losing Allan Saint-Maximin to Mikel Arteta in a late night poker game. Photo: CARL RECINE
10. Pep Guardiola - Manchester City
Ever the football nerd, Guardiola heads straight down to see Magaluf's local club CF Platges de Calvia in action. He's forcibly evicted from the game at half-time, after furiously berating the hosts' manager for not deploying a 'double pivot' in midfield. Photo: Richard Heathcote
11. Ralph Hasenhuttl - Southampton
"A Southampton crest!" a slightly worse for wear Saints boss demands at the 24 hour tattoo parlour. Barry the ex-pat Portsmouth fan can't believe his luck, and spends the next twelve hours creating a blue masterpiece. Ralph resigns the next morning, and gives Michael Isner a panicked phone call.

12. Ryan Mason - Spurs
Very much the young whippersnapper of the group, Mason has no interest in hanging about with a bunch of old codgers. He overdoes it on the pineapple Bicardi Breezers on the first night, and an irate Roy Hodgson is dragged out of bed to carry him home from a particularly raucous foam party. Photo: Pool
