Chris Armas set to take interim charge of Leeds for back-to-back games against Man United this week... giving him a shot at revenge after ill-fated spell at Old Trafford in which he was mockingly called 'Ted Lasso' by squad

American coach Chris Armas looks set to be given the chance to exact revenge on Manchester United this week, as he takes interim charge of Leeds in the wake of Jesse Marsch's sacking.

Armas was hired as an assistant coach under Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford from December 2021 to May 2022, but his five months at the club were marred by reports that players had brutally dubbed him 'Ted Lasso' behind his back.

He joined Leeds last month as an assistant to his countryman Marsch, but now appears set to be thrust into the spotlight in the wake of Marsch's sacking.
