Former Premier League star looks unrecognisable as is seen coaching Andres Iniesta without trademark long hair
Former Premier League striker Benito Carbone looks unrecognisable in an Instagram post of him coaching Andres Iniesta.
The ex-Italian youth international kickstarted his career at Torino and moved to the Premier League in 1996 with Sheffield Wednesday.
Carbone scored 35 goals in 177 English top-flight appearances, with other spells coming at Aston Villa, Bradford City, Derby County and Middlesbrough.
During his playing days, he rocked a flowing set of hair but his latest Instagram post shows the 52-year-old now with a much shorter trim.
He is also accompanied by Barcelona and Spain legend Iniesta, a player Carbone coaches as Emirates Club's assistant manager.
Iniesta joined the United Arab Emirates side in August after a career that saw him win nine LaLiga titles and four Champions Leagues alongside Lionel Messi and Xavi.

The 39-year-old has since made ten appearances for the club and has been under the guidance of his new assistant manager since January.
He worked with big names such as Louis van Gaal, Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola at Barcelona but is now under the guidance of a fresh looking Carbone.
The striker featured for Roy Hodgson's Inter Milan side before sealing his move to Wednesday, where he played alongside Paulo Di Canio.
After three seasons at Hillsborough, Carbone signed for Villa and scored five goals on their run to the FA Cup final in 2000, only to lose 1-0 against Chelsea.

He then shocked the Premier League by completing a move to Bradford City on a £40,000-a-week deal, despite them only just surviving relegation.
The Bantams were eventually demoted to the first division and in order to save them from going under, he honourably gave up £3.32million in wages to leave the club.
Carbone returned to Italy in 2002 and started his managerial career with Pavia as youth coach.
He then managed the senior side before spells at Varese, Vallee d'Aoste and Ternana, and was also an assistant coach with the Azerbaijan national team.
Carbone now works alongside Walter Zenga at Emirates Club, who sit rock bottom of the UAE Pro League with just one win all season.
