Cardiff City have a new manager, well a Head Coach, same thing? The long wait is over and now, with fixtures out next week, we have a base to plan from.
Time will tell how this will work out. It's a bold move by the club to hand out a three year contract, could this be the start of some stability and the chance to build something?
A former midfielder with Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday, Barry-Murphy is returning to a frontline managerial role for the first time since a two-year spell in charge at Rochdale, where he also won praise for the side's style of play and use of local talent.
In a statement, Vincent Tan said: "Throughout the interview process, Brian showed a huge passion for our club because he believes in what we're trying to do.
"He knows this level having played and managed at this standard before, where he was noted for his style of play.
"Since then, he has only gone from strength-to-strength as a leader.
"He's got a proven track record in youth development having coached some of the brightest young prospects in the UK, many of whom are now playing at the very top of the game.
"He brings enthusiasm, vibrancy and an exciting outlook on what today's football is, while looking to play an attacking style that our fans are sure to enjoy.
"It's a combination of all of Brian's great talents that make him the right man to take us forward into this next chapter."
