2 Ted Lasso similarities atManchester United
Manchester Unitedās players, who havenāt reportedly been on great terms with any of the five previous headcoaches fromthe post-Sir Alex Fergusonās era, have beendisillusioned by the Germanās training techniques, ESPN claim.
The German expert is said to have assignedhis assistant Chris Armas,who is anewly hired American coach who has previously worked with Rangnick,in charge of the trainingsessions,which has caused surprise among the group of players. As a result, the staff have been humorously compared to Ted Lasso,the fictional soccer coach in theeponymous comedy-dramaTV show.
Before getting the position as Rangnickās right-hand man inDecember 2021, Armas had never coached outside of the United States. After winning two of his 15 games in charge, the 49-year-old pastmanagerial tenure with Toronto FC resulted in his firing.
