MLS side FC Cincinnati have had an awkward social media blunder after they made a hilarious photo mistake involving their new coach Jaap Stam.

Cincinnati, who were established in 2018 and finished bottom of the Eastern Conference in 2019, confirmed on Thursday that former Manchester United and AC Milan star Stam will be their new boss.

However in an amazing blunder, the photo they included with the announcement on Twitter was not Stam, but instead Ajax Amsterdam youth coach Tinus van Teunenbroek.

After hundreds of people pointed out the error, red-faced Cincinnati deleted their original tweet and posted a new one.
