Pep Guardiola has switched up his style and Manchester City fans are loving the new Ted Lasso energy.
As City prepare for a brief pre-season, Guardiola was spotted visiting Barcelonas Monarka Clinic, known for cutting-edge recovery treatments. But it wasnt the clinic that caught everyones eye it was Peps new clean-shaven face, ditching his signature beard for just a moustache.
The fresh look immediately sparked comparisons to Jason Sudeikiss beloved fictional coach from Apple TVs Ted Lasso a show Pep himself once appeared in.
One City fan joked: Pep Guardiola now has a moustache inspired by Ted Lasso as he aims to turn things around after Manchester Citys disastrous last season.
Another chimed in, quoting Lassos iconic line: I believe perfectly capturing the hope behind Peps bold new style and fresh start.
Guardiolas cameo on Ted Lasso came during the penultimate episode of Season 3.
In a heartfelt moment after a game between the fictional AFC Richmond and City, Guardiola told Sudeikiss titular coach: Dont worry about wins or losses. Just help these guys be the best version of themselves on and off the pitch. This, at the end, is the most important thing.
Lasso replied: I couldnt agree more, coach.

When reflecting on his guest spot, Pep shared: As a family, my little daughter Valentina and my wife enjoy watching the show a lot. Were big fans, and when they offered me a cameo, I thought, why not? It was great to meet the actors.
With a fresh stache and a whole lot of optimism, Pep is ready to bring that same spirit to Citys next chapter.
