Neil Warnock is excited by the challenge awaiting him at Leeds, with the former Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers boss having made a speedy return to the dugout.
Warnock started the 2011/12 campaign at the helm of Premier League outfit QPR, but was shown the door in January.
His services were in demand from the moment he left Loftus Road, with Leeds' decision to part with Simon Grayson firing them to the front of the queue.
Warnock admits he spoke to a number of other sides, including Wolves, before accepting an offer from Leeds, but he believes he is about to take the reins at one of the biggest clubs in the country.
In his column for The Independent, Warnock wrote: "It is exciting to be back and it is even more so to be at a genuine, big club like Leeds United.
"I've spoken to three or four clubs in the last 10 days and I've been really pleased with being wanted. Leeds was the one that I listened to a lot and I saw the fans' forums. They seemed to be united that they wanted me.
"I do feel that when you've got potentially 30,000 people it's a fantastic place to be. I reckon Leeds are the fourth or fifth biggest club in the country.
"I love it at my age. I have nothing to fear. If things go wrong, I will call it a day.
"As long as I enjoy it, I will see how it goes between now and the end of the season. My contract is until the end of next season, but I've spoken to Ken Bates, the Leeds chairman, and if we know it's not working - I'm not into contracts now, I was when I'm younger - we'll go our own way.
"I've always got on all right with the chairman. I know how he runs his clubs, he gets them organised. I know they've had a lot of protests, but I'm saying to fans: 'We've got 14 games to go, put everything to bed and let's have some fun'."
Warnock was at Elland Road on Saturday to see his new side recover from falling two goals down to snatch a dramatic 3-2 victory over Doncaster.
He added: "I honestly haven't got a clue what we can achieve. If you'd seen the first half against Doncaster on Saturday, you'd have said, 'Let's avoid relegation'. If you saw the second, you'd say, 'Let's go for it'. We've got some good players, and the crowd is an extra player.
"I regretted not putting myself on the bench after 10 minutes of the game. I said that to Mick Jones. I went down at half-time and changed three or four things and that really helped us. They're a very keen set of lads, they all want to do their best. That's great for me."
On his decision to plump for Leeds over a number of other interested parties, Warnock said: "I first spoke to Leeds 10 days ago. They asked me my situation. I didn't know what I was going to do.
"Over 10 days, I had two interviews with other clubs and another close one before then. Then everything at Leeds happened in 24 hours last week. I spoke to Wolves on Wednesday, I don't think they wanted to make a quick decision. I spoke to Ken on Thursday. He said, 'Come over and I'll tell you about the club, you can start on Sunday and meet them on Monday'.
"I went back and thought that would be a waste of a game and I wanted to make sure we got three points against Doncaster, which we did - even if it didn't look possible at 2-0 down. It wasn't a bad first team-talk!"
