Guardiola vs Arbeloa: The two coaches whose ‘fashionable dressing’ has gone viral

Real Madrid interim head coach Álvaro Arbeloa and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola have been in the spotlight for their fashionable outfits worn during matches.

During the game, the coach wore a dark navy blue leather bomber jacket by Louis Vuitton, priced at €3,900 on the French luxury brand's official website.

The Italy-made garment, fully lined and featuring a central zip, side pockets, and elasticated cuffs and waistband, quickly caught the attention of style-savvy viewers and spread widely across social media even before the final whistle.

Meanwhile, in the Carabao Cup final where Manchester City beat Arsenal on March 22, 2026, Guardiola stole the spotlight with his £270 shirt from a rising Swedish brand.

The Man City boss surprised many when he ditched the typical “black puffer and skinny jeans” uniform for a laid-back, stoner-inspired look.

The Spanish manager changed his fashion style with a baggy Our Legacy flannel, straight-leg black trousers, and oxblood boots. One stylish outfit isn’t exactly shocking, yet it was outstanding.

The two fashionable choices by the coaches caught the attention of football fans, who praised their sense of style alongside their coaching skills and acumen.
