FOX jokingly referred to Jesse Marsch as 'the real Ted Lasso' when the Leeds coach joined its news coverage on Saturday before the USA played Holland at the World Cup.
American coach Marsch is currently in England with Premier League side Leeds, where he signed two United States internationals in Tyler Adams and Brendan Aaronson.
As he joined FOX's coverage ahead of a massive game for US soccer, he was referred to as the character of a show which won multiple Emmys in 2021. It chronicles an enthusiastic American coach trying to rally a struggling English team without initially knowing anything about soccer.
