Plymouth Argyle's first competitive league fixture in front of their newly redeveloped Mayflower stand will see the man currently hoping to lead the Pilgrims to their next promotion against the man who won their last.
Present Argyle boss Ryan Lowe will be going head to head with his predecessor Derek Adams when the Pilgrims host Morecambe, and Lowe will be also be hoping to emulate Adams' achievement of the 2016-17 season by leading Argyle to promotion from League Two.
Adams, however, is facing a very different task in his current role with the Shrimps, who are currently bottom of the division on goal difference, after succeeding the AFC Fylde-bound Jim Bentley, who had spent the last eight years in charge at the Globe Arena, last month.
It will be the first time that Adams has returned to Home Park since his dismissal last April which brought his four-year spell in charge of the Pilgrims to an end.
Whereas promotion was Adams' main brief when he first took over of Argyle, the Pilgrims also lost in the 2016 League Two play-off final to AFC Wimbledon in his first season in charge before they finished as runners-up in the 2016-17 campaign, his main challenge with Morecambe is to keep them in League Two.
The Shrimps are currently the longest serving club in the fourth tier of English football after winning promotion from the Conference National in the 2006-07 season when they beat the Pilgrims' arch-rivals Exeter City in the play-off final.
Whilst the size of the two clubs and the challenge of both jobs might be different, both managers will be eager to secure the three points on offer, which they both need for differing reasons.
