Former Man United boss Erik ten Hag reunited with Robbie Williams after attending the popstar's latest gig in Amsterdam.
Ten Hag was back at the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Sunday night, the venue he had called home as manager of Ajax from 2018 to 2022.
The stadium had been the latest stop on Williams' Britpop tour across Europe, with Ten Hag among the attendees.
Ten Hag met Williams backstage following the gig, with the singer sharing a photo of them on Instagram.
'Two incredible nights in Amsterdam… that was fun. All the love, Rob,' Williams posted with nine images from his stop in the Netherlands.
Accompanying the picture with Ten Hag, Williams also showed where his football loyalties lie by posing next to a banner in honour of his local club Port Vale, which read 'The Valiants, Port Vale, Est. 1876'.

Harry Maguire previously gave Williams a tour of Man United's training ground back in 2022
It was not the first time Ten Hag had come across Williams, with the 'Angles' singer having previously visited Man United during the Dutchman's time as manager.
Williams had been given a tour of Man United's Carrington training ground in 2022 by Harry Maguire.
The defender, who is friends with Williams, also organised for the star to meet members of the squad during their pre-season tour in Los Angeles last summer.
Ten Hag is joining some final time off before returning to management, after being sacked by Man United last season.
He was dismissed from Old Trafford in October with Man United lying 14th in the Premier League after winning just four of their opening 14 matches.
His departure came despite the club triggering a one-year contract extension last summer.
Ten Hag's extension followed him leading the club to the FA Cup, having also won the Carabao Cup in his first full season in charge.
