Start looking for a new job. You've got maybe 3-6 months. Less if they brought the person in as a hatchetman/woman.

Imagine you are big name act like Taylor Swift. You would not let some outside rando choose a manager for you, would you? When a manager chooses a manager for you they don't do it for your benefit.

OP hasn't said anything about the cause of the manager transition. For all we know, it could be just that their old manager left for a better opportunity, and they back-filled the role.

My advice - help the manager as much as possible while you evaluate them. It'll probably be fine, and you'll learn to work with them -- they may even make the team better. If not, start looking.
