RIO FERDINAND’S sartorial knowledge was put to the test as he had to guess the manager by their outfit.
The former Manchester United star likes to think of himself as a sharp dresser.
But how well does he know other people’s fashion senses?
Ferdinand, 44, is a lead pundit for the newly-renamed TNT Sports.
And in a video posted on their social media channels, the former centre-back was asked to name the manager by their clothing.
See if you can beat Rio in the quiz below.

PICTURE 1
Ferdinand wasted no time in answering this first question.
With no deliberation, he came straight out with the correct answer.
This blue shirt, waistcoat and tie combination swept the nation during the 2018 World Cup.
Can you remember who wore it?

Answer: Gareth Southgate
It was of course the England boss!
Sadly he seems to have retired the waistcoat since the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
But we’ll always have memories of that summer.
PICTURE 2:
Ferdinand wasn’t so sure on this one, asking: “Are these current managers?”
After a few moments, he guessed: “The Brentford manager.”
We assume Ferdinand must actually know that his name is Thomas Frank, right?
Let’s see if he was correct…
Answer: Erik ten Hag
Wrong! It was Man United boss Erik ten Hag.
After learning of the answer, Ferdinand said: “Ooh, I’ve never seen Erik in them shoes man.”
Ironically, he wore this outfit during the Red Devils’ 4-0 defeat at Brentford last August – perhaps he retired those grey shoes after…
PICTURE 3:
Who could have worn this black zip-up and claret tie I wonder?
Surely it would have to be someone whose team wears these colours.
Ferdinand paused for a few moments before locking in his answer.
He said: “Emery.”
Answer: Unai Emery
It was indeed Aston Villa boss Unai Emery!
The Spaniard is known for his slicked back barnet.
But he also enjoys a zip-up with shirt and tie combo.
PICTURE 4:
Ferdinand took absolutely no time at all answering this one.
Sadly this natty cardigan featured in the Premier League all too briefly last season.
The brave grey number received plenty of attention at the time.
Rio guessed: “Scott Parker.”
Answer: Scott Parker
How could we forget? It was of course Scott Parker!
The former England international wore this grey cardigan at the very start of last season after getting Bournemouth promoted.
It didn’t last long, however, as he was sacked in August after a 9-0 defeat at Liverpool.
PICTURE 5:
Ferdinand wasn’t quite so sure with this one, initially asking: “Is this on tour?”
After scrunching up his face and taking time to think, he still wasn’t sure of an answer.
Eventually he guessed: “It’s not Poch is it?”
Let’s find out…
Answer: Pep Guardiola
It was not Mauricio Pochettino, but Pep Guardiola!
To be fair to Rio, he was right about the outfit being worn on tour.
Guardiola wore this chinos and white trainers combination during a match with Real Madrid in Los Angeles back in 2017.
PICTURE 6:
The former England skipper was left sickened by these trousers and shoes.
He blasted: “Wow. That is horrendous.”
Ferdinand then asked: “It ain’t Nagelsmann is it?”
One last time, let’s find out…
Answer: Julian Nagelsmann
It was former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann!
After learning of the outfit’s owner, Rio said: “That is not what you wear on the sidelines.”
SunSport doesn’t think Ferdinand will be consulting Nagelsmann’s stylist any time soon.
RESULTS:
Rio Ferdinand: 4/6
