PEP GUARDIOLA has brought back his famous ‘coatigan’ – and Manchester City fans are convinced the glory days are coming back with it.
The Spanish chief donned the coat-cardigan hybrid during his team’s Treble-winning 2018-19 campaign.

That year, City edged out Liverpool to win the Premier League on the final day of the season, while also winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
But Guardiola then auctioned the iconic clobber off at the end of the season for a staggering £6,000.
The Etihad side then limply conceded their league crown, as Jurgen Klopp’s Reds stormed to the title by 18 points.
After City’s slump in form coincided with the coatigan’s absence last year, it’s back – and fans are excited.
Guardiola has worn the coatigan twice this season – and both have resulted in victories.
Most-recently, the City chief donned the top for the 3-1 Champions League win over Porto.
Taking to Twitter, one fan theorised everything is starting to fall back into place, thanks to their summer transfers, players rediscovering their top form and, of course, the coatigan.
They wrote: “Sergio’s back. Coatigan’s back. Bernardo & Cancelo are magical. Dias and Ake are just what we needed.
“Just need KDB, Jesus & Laporte to get fit. A lot to look forward to. A lot to fight for. Have a great week!”
And fans agreed the coatigan is integral, as one replied: “Coatigan form will be crucial.”
Another added: “Big time.”
A third wrote: “The coatigan was the missing ingredient from last season, glad it’s back.”
