New Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is the star of a cheesy new advert.
The Special One has signed a three-year deal at Old Trafford and will be officially unveiled on Friday.
But before then he has appeared in an advertisement for Lipton Ice Tea in which he 'refreshes his body and mind' while managing a football team.
Former Chelsea boss Mourinho has featured in a number of adverts since breaking on to the scene with FC Porto and subsequently becoming one of the most sought-after managers in the world.
He is all set to replace Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford after the Dutchman was sacked following victory in the FA Cup final but failure to secure Champions League football next season.
An announcement was due to be made earlier this week, but a snag over Mourinho's image rights, in particular the rights to his name which are still owned by the Blues, have halted the confirmation.
The ex-Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss was said to be 'cross' upon learning that Chelsea still held the rights.
Christiano Ronaldo played under Mourinho at the Bernabeu, and the Portuguese has backed his compatriot to take the Red Devils 'back to the top'.
"I think it's good. If it's something United wanted I think it's good," he told Spanish TV station La Sexta.
"I hope Manchester United get back to being what they were because it's an impressive club but in the last years they lacked an identity a bit.
"And it hurts me seeing United like that because it's a club that I carry in my heart. I wish Mourinho can carry them back to the top."
