5 high quality wigs Pep Guardiola could use to unsuccessfully hide his baldness

Pep is bald, but that doesn't mean he can't look good

Wayne Farry

Pep is bald. This is a sad and undeniable fact of the world we live in. Another fact? A bald manager has never won the Premier League.

Despite all of this, being bald is not the death sentence to a reputation that it once was, meaning there are many options available for Guardiola to not only improve his look but also increase his chances of domestic success at Manchester City.

With this in mind, we have carefully curated five stylish and high quality wigs which Pep could conceivably use to unsuccessfully hide the baldness upon his head.

The Richard Madeley

Business at the front, party at the back. This wig – named after the king of daytime television – is the obvious choice for the professional man who enjoys a night out on the town. The strawberry blonde colour is perfect for summer and means Pep will be on the receiving end of plenty of attention, whether on the high street or in the board room. One negative however is the fact that it remains incredibly obvious that he is bald.

The Justin Beiber

Chic and brave, the Justin Beiber look is making a comeback on the wig scene and there’s no reason Pep can’t get ahead of the chasing pack with this horsehair number. Popularised by the Canadian pop star when he burst onto the scene, Guardiola can be confident that he won’t have to say “Sorry” for this one, which with its long, tight fringe provides a sultry and moody look. While the close nature of the wig ensures it remains tightly fastened to the Catalan coach’s head, it is not quite enough to disguise the fact that Pep has no hair.

The Hucknall Lite

They say never go full Hucknall, and that is certainly the case with this daring hairpiece. This look pulls no punches and who can blame it? Tight, neat curls abound in a deep red hue which really compliment the Manchester City manager’s sallow skin tone and chiseled bone structure. Firm and in place with hairspray or bouncing freely without, Pep has a variety of choices with this style which just screams “artisan”. This one has many qualities, successfully convincing the public that Pep isn’t a bald man is sadly not one of them.

The Final Fantasy

They call this the Final Fantasy and it’s a look which will make Pep a fantasy for many in the city of Manchester and further afield. Unashamedly androgynous, this number is as bold as it is stylish and though unconventional the grey colouring is more in season than it ever has been before. While Guardiola will be spending more time coaching tactics than summoning spells against Sephiroth, this piece creates the illusion of magic, with hints of 1980s punk-pop. All the magic in the world however will not help make Pep look less bald, nor will this wig.

The Sexual Deviant

Neither Pep, nor anyone else, should ever have hair like this.
