Former Manchester United midfielder has been unveiled as a new head coach of League Two side, Oldham Athletic on an 18-month deal in his first senior managerial role.
In his very first training session as a manager, Paul Scholes was already invoking the lessons of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Oldham owner Abdallah Lemsagam said: ‘Paul has won everything there is to win in football. He is a man who will bring a lot of footballing knowledge and his hunger to succeed in management will be there for everyone to see.
‘It’s no secret how much he has wanted this job in the past and how much he loves this club, so I’m very happy to bring him into our family at Oldham Athletic.
‘Paul will have my backing 100 per cent and hopefully we can work together to bring success back to this club.’
Earlier, the former Manchester United midfielder was already in action on the training ground and looked to have taken some tips from Ferguson, his former boss – barking out orders, intently checking his watch, and making sure his players know who is in charge.
