Premier League Managers Recreated In Paint As Military leaders

Italian artist Pupazzaro started painting as a hobby but now stars of football contact him for portraits - but why has he not bothered with Antonio Conte?

THEY spend their days leading their clubs in pursuit of trophies – but one artist has gone one step further and painted the Premier League‘s biggest managers as actual military generals.

Italian artist Pupazzaro draws footballers in army gear and what was initially a hobby has turned into a business, with players and managers even contacting him for a portrait.

Fellow Italian Claudio Ranieri, who won the title last year with Leicester City is immortalised in army uniform, as is Manchester United's Jose Mourinho and his fierce city rival Pep Guardiola of Manchester City.

North London rivals Arsene Wenger and Mauricio Pochettino are also drawn for when their two sides Arsenal and Spurs go into battle.

And completing the list is a smiling Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool complete with extravagant handlebar moustache.
