Pep Guardiola reveals he is a HUGE fan of television series Ted Lasso and jokes his cameo has made the show 'more successful' after he guided Manchester City to the Premier League title

Pep Guardiola has joked how his golden touch has translated to the small screen - after his cameo on the hit US TV show Ted Lasso.

The treble-chasing Manchester City boss appeared in the latest episode of the award-winning series that depicts an American football coach, played by Jason Sudeikis, moving to manage in the Premier League.

But, even though Guardiola suggested he was hired for his on-screen role to boost the show's popularity, the real reason was more of a family affair.

'Ted Lasso needed people like me to make the show better so they have success,' joked the City manager.
