Known as Sir Segundo Castillo, he currently manages his home club, Barcelona SC.
The 42-year-old made an effort to boost morale during their Copa Libertadores match against Argentina’s River Plate in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.
His eye-catching pink dinner jacket caught the attention of everyone as he led his team to a 0-0 draw.
The fashionable former player has been seen in black and white tuxedos for previous Barcelona fixtures.
However, his recent sartorial choice has sparked a great deal of online mockery, with memes of Marge Simpson from The Simpsons in a pink dress circulating widely.
Castillo remarked, “When I emerge from my dressing room and my players see me like this, it brings smiles and makes them feel a bit freer.
“The players know they are well taken care of.
“There is a positive vibe between them and the coaching staff.”

During his Premier League tenure, Castillo played nine games for Everton and scored a goal in the UEFA Cup against Standard Liege.
He subsequently made eight appearances for Wolves during his loan from Red Star Belgrade.

Following this, he represented six clubs across South America, including Barcelona SC and the Saudi team Al-Hilal.
He retired from professional football in 2020 and became the permanent manager of Barcelona SC last year after two terms as interim coach.
