A Lithuanian soccer club has won the internet by finding a fun and unusual way to support women’s sports. They asked none other than Jason Sudeikis to stop pretending to be a football coach and become one for real.
Vilnius-based FK Žalgiris has formally invited the Ted Lasso star to take charge of its women’s team for an official match.
The offer is considerably more serious than a celebrity photo opportunity. If Sudeikis accepts, the club says he will be given tactical freedom, take part in training, prepare the team for the match and make decisions from the sidelines alongside a professional coaching staff.
