Did You Know: Real Life Ted Lasso Crisis At Football Club Manchester United

Real life Ted Lasso crisis has been observed between the Manchester United players and coach Chris Armas. The sports-comedy series Ted Lasso featured Jason Sudeikis as the coach of AFC Richmond to help the team make a comeback in the game and was mocked by many for having absolutely no experience of the sports. A similar situation has erupted in the English Football club as the players have started mocking their coach.

Coach Ted Lasso received enough criticism from the Richmond players since he had absolutely no experience of the game and knew nothing about the English rules of Football. He used no proper methods of training or drills and relied solely upon his heart and gut to train the players for the big league. The English players ultimately felt disrespected and insulted over his lack of knowledge of the sports and its methods while assistant Coach Beard instructed him about the specifics.

Real Life Ted Lasso Crisis At Manchester United, Players Call Coach Ted Lasso

English Football club Manchester United is facing a similar crisis between its players and coach Chris Armas as they have reportedly started referring to him as Ted Lasso. The 49-year-old coach was signed as the assistant of the head coach of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick, in December 2021 having no prior experience of coaching in Europe. Former American Coach Armas coached Toronto FC before this and led only two victories among 15 matches during his time as the head coach.

While Coach Rangnick has passed most of the coaching responsibility to Chris Armas, Manchester United players still believe that Rangnick’s methods are old-fashioned and not quite beneficial for the team to make progress which is already giving low performance.

Even though the players reportedly have started mocking Coach Armas calling him ‘Ted Lasso’, the coach still retains more experience than the character in the initial part of the series. Chris Armas have been a part of Football teams LA Galaxy, Chicago Fire and two other national teams.
