And the character himself will be a playable trainer in the upcoming game, with a fully-molded Jason Sudeikis to roam beside your team, waving, and do whatever football coaches do.
Today, within minutes of each other, the two officially Ted Lasso and FIFA Twitter accounts have revealed a minute-long trailer setting up Lasso’s playable appearance in the game.
