Jesse Marsch laughs off 'Ted Lasso' jibes after hiring fellow American Chris Armas as his new assistant at Leeds... as both have been unfavourably compared to the hapless US coach from the TV comedy series

Jesse Marsch has joked how Leeds now have a new Ted Lasso after hiring fellow American Chris Armas as his assistant.

Armas previously worked under Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United, where players disparagingly nicknamed him after the hapless US coach from the Apple comedy series.

Marsch has himself received unfavourable comparisons to Lasso since his arrival at Elland Road 11 months ago.
