The Hollywood Reporter

Sudeikis and Bill Lawrence are co-creating, co-writing and executive producing Ted Lasso, which will have the comedic actor reprising his role as the clueless all-American football coach who is hired to manage an English football club — despite having no soccer coaching experience at all. Sudeikis debuted the character in 2013 for a series of An American Coach in London NBC Sports promotional videos. Ted Lasso marks Sudeikis' first regular TV role since leaving Saturday Night Live in 2013.
