Every Premier League manager's FIFA 23 face scan has been revealed but some do not bear any resemblance whatsoever.
In a move that should add extra realism to Career Mode, an area of FIFA that fans have been demanding changes for, all managers in the Premier League can be selected.
Normally you'd have to create your own manager, decide on whether you're going to be a tracksuit gaffer or a suave suit wearer and then crack on with your stint.

However, a big change for FIFA 23 is the ability to control authentic managers. There are over 350 to choose from and you can even customise their attire.
A video on TikTok from @capruciuremus has provided a sneak peek for the coaches in the Premier League and though there's some that are realistic and have been scanned, there are plenty of bad ones.
Pep Guardiola, Thomas Tuchel, Jurgen Klopp, David Moyes, Brendan Rodgers and Marco Silva are all really strong but the faces of Erik ten Hag, Mikel Arteta and Frank Lampard are hilariously shocking.
The video, taken from the FIFA beta, has garnered 11,800 likes on TikTok and received a lot of comments - many of which were in disbelief of the scans.
One fan wrote: "They done arteta dirty ain’t no way."
Another commented: "That’s not Eric [sic] Ten Hag that’s Eric Ten Lag."
A third added: "Arteta looks like Michael from GTA."
A fourth user said: "Looks like they did detail for Klopp and pep. every other manager they hit random."
In Career Mode, these managers will be there on the touchline and also in transfer negotiations as you try to secure your top target.
EA say the introduction of real managers is a direct response to audience feedback.
“We’ve seen feedback from players wanting to play as some of their favourite managers, and we’re happy to say FIFA 23 enables you to play as one of the 350 plus authentic football managers, of which 30 plus have star heads, in Career Mode," EA said in a Career Mode deep dive.
“Upon selecting the manager of your choice, you can customize their outfit and decide on the club they’ll be in charge of. You have the option of continuing to build a legacy at an authentic manager’s current club, pick a different club to start at, or even create a new club for the manager to lead to glory.”
FIFA 23 will be the final iteration before the game becomes known as 'EA Sports FC' after a long-standing partnership comes to an end.
A worldwide release on all good consoles is pencilled in for September 30.
