Premier League managers have been transformed into ‘Ken dolls’ inspired by the Barbie film… but can YOU guess which top-flight boss is which?

admin




This summer’s Barbie film has taken the cinematic, social media, and fashion worlds by storm, and now it seems the Premier League is in its sights. 

One trend to emerge recently has been people transforming themselves into ‘Ken dolls’ with make-up, clothes, and the assistance of AI. 

It just so happens you can convert every single Premier League manager into a Ken doll, and that’s exactly what Gambling.com did thanks to the help of BaiRBRIE. 

Photos of each manager were put through the software to generate their image, and here are the results.

The only prize on the table is pride, but can you guess which doll relates to which manager? Answers can be found at the bottom. Good luck.
