Former England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce accidentally referred to Xherdan Shaqiri as Colombian popstar Shakira while discussing Stoke City's new signing during an interview.
The 53-year-old was asked for his thoughts on the Switzerland international during an appearance on Sky Sports News this morning.
Pearce made the blunder of calling the 23-year-old winger Shakira, who is in a relationship with Barcelona defender Gerard Pique and is the mother of his two sons.
Some viewers captured the moment and uploaded it on social media to poke fun at the former Nottingham Forest boss.
