‘Buzzing’ Liam Gallagher already has his own nickname for Pep Guardiola

We hope you will enjoy the show

We definitely maybe think Liam Gallagher is excited about Pep Guardiola’s appointment.

The ex-Oasis frontman and Manchester City fan isn’t exactly crying his heart out about Manuel Pellegrini being outta time. In fact, rather than looking back in anger, some might say he’s up in the sky about a better man coming in.

So much so that he has his own nickname for City’s new manager, who he hopes will shine a light on his new fans when it’s time to face the crowd at the Etihad next season.

Gallagher’s love of City and the Beatles is familiar to millions, and now the rock ‘n’ roll star has combined the two by referring to Guardiola as ‘Sergeant Pep’ – a pseudonym that we reckon will be all around the world before long… champagne supernova.
