PEP GUARDIOLA has sent Premier League fans into meltdown after he debuted a stunning new look.
The Manchester City boss is hoping to mastermind his squad back to winning ways next season after finishing third in the league and going trophyless.
City’s squad returns to pre-season on July 28 following their exploits in the Club World Cup.
But the Spaniard forced fans to do a double take after spotting him with a remarkable new facial feature.
Guardiola, 54, ditched his usual beard for a striking moustache.
The new look quickly went viral as fans discussed it.
One fan said: “The league is not ready for a bald moustache Josep Guardiola.”
A second said: “You can’t just post ‘Pep Guardiola’ now has a moustache’ and expect us to get on with our lives.”
A third added: “Bro what???”
A fourth said: “Premier League should be trembling now.”
A fifth said: “Pep Guardiola saw the announcement of the start of production for the fourth season of Ted Lasso and decided to pay tribute to his idol.”
Ted Lasso recently announced its return for a fourth season, but Guardiola previously appeared in the last episode of season three of the Apple TV show, which he is a big fan of.
Guardiola could have even been inspired by a moustache he saw in 2021.
He told TNT Sports correspondent Fred Caldeira at the time: “I really like your moustache, Fred.
“You are so attractive and sexy.”
And he may be hoping the new look can give City a fresh push towards silverware.
City have a pre-season game against Palermo on August 9.
They then kick-off their Premier League season with an away trip to Wolves.
Tottenham then visit the Etihad for City’s first home game of the campaign.
