Guardiola is one for wearing club kit combined with a casual jeans look.

It is a long way from the days of a suit and tie that was favoured by managers of old like Sir Alex Ferguson and George Graham.

The range is part of a Manchester City set of attire that has been designed by Puma.

Guardiola has previously used his touchline attire to show off the names of his favoured charities.

In the 2020-21 season he wore a hoodie with the slogan of the charity Open Arms on.

What does ‘mdcr’ stand for?

The four-letter abbreviation stands for ‘Madchester’, adding to the north-western English city’s reputation as a musical and cultural cauldron, where mad things happen.

The term is associated with the music scene from the 1980s and 1990s.

Back then, bands like the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were running the roost music-wise.

And then along came a band called Oasis, fronted by City-loving pair Liam and Noel Gallagher, who changed the face of British music forever.

But Madchester was also associated with massive raves and gigs that went on in the city at the time, many of them taking place in warehouses and derelict buildings that had been repurposed for music venues.
