With a changing of the guard, you’re always going to get new ideas and a new approach.
Manuel Pellegrini was seldom seen ranting and raving – or even dancing – on the touchline during his tenure at Manchester City.
But all that has changed with new man Pep Guardiola at the helm of the Manchester club.
He’s barely been there five minutes but already he’s probably been more animated pitchside than 62-year-old Pellegrini was all last season.
In perhaps a sign of things to come this season, the former Bayern Munich boss was out throwing some serious shapes watching his new Sky Blue charges going down 1-0 to his former club in a pre-season game at the Allianz Arena.
His touchline antics – which included some serious thigh slapping, wild gesticulations, dancing and what can only be described a s a Mr Bean impression – were caught on camera by BT Sport.
Despite Pep’s first City outing ending up in a loss, fans genuinely loved seeing him dicking about on the sidelines…

Loving the Pep touchline antics even though they do remind me of playing charades with rubbish teammates
