Pep Guardiola attracts Ted Lasso comparisons with daring new look

Pep Guardiola has switched up his type – and Manchester Metropolis followers are loving the brand new ‘Ted Lasso’ power.

As Metropolis put together for a quick pre-season, Guardiola was noticed visiting Barcelona’s Monarka Clinic, identified for cutting-edge restoration remedies. But it surely wasn’t the clinic that caught everybody’s eye – it was Pep’s new clean-shaven face, ditching his signature beard for only a moustache.

The recent look instantly sparked comparisons to Jason Sudeikis’s beloved fictional coach from Apple TV’s “Ted Lasso” – a present Pep himself as soon as appeared in.

One Metropolis fan joked: “Pep Guardiola now has a moustache impressed by Ted Lasso as he goals to show issues round after Manchester Metropolis’s disastrous final season.”

One other chimed in, quoting Lasso’s iconic line: “I imagine” – completely capturing the hope behind Pep’s daring new type and recent begin.

Guardiola’s cameo on “Ted Lasso” got here through the penultimate episode of Season 3.

In a heartfelt second after a sport between the fictional AFC Richmond and Metropolis, Guardiola advised Sudeikis’s titular coach: “Don’t fear about wins or losses. Simply assist these guys be the perfect model of themselves on and off the pitch. This, on the finish, is a very powerful factor.”

Lasso replied: “I couldn’t agree extra, coach.”

When reflecting on his visitor spot, Pep shared: “As a household, my little daughter Valentina and my spouse get pleasure from watching the present so much. We’re huge followers, and once they provided me a cameo, I assumed, why not? It was nice to fulfill the actors.”

With a recent ’stache and an entire lot of optimism, Pep is able to convey that very same spirit to Metropolis’s subsequent chapter.
