Pep Guardiola celebrates new Manchester City job with a pair of Oasis-inspired sideburns on Ibiza boat holiday
Catalan coach follows Elvis, George Best and Liam Gallagher by growing a pair of silver mutton chops on his summer break
PEP GUARDIOLA will fit right in at Manchester City after growing himself a pair of Liam Gallagher sideburns.
The former Barcelona boss is replacing Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad and he proved he’s already a token Mancunian with a silver set of mutton chops made famous by Elvis and copied down the years by the likes of George Best and the former Oasis star.
The well-dressed Catalonian played it cool on holiday with some standard beach kit but he was rocking some impressive stubble on either side of his tactics-stuffed head.
The ex-Bayern Munich boss is already winning over the Man City players after giving Raheem Sterling a morale-boosting phone call after he was dropped by England manager Roy Hodgson for the Slovakia match.
And now he’ll be impressing the Etihad indie kids with his perfectly sculpted facial hair that is de rigueur around the town.
