It's the TV series that has taken the football world by storm - so much so, that Ted Lasso is even forcing its way into Premier League dressing rooms.
The Emmy Award-nominating show starring Jason Sudeikis has proved to be a popular hit with viewers of Apple TV, and now boasts Liverpool's backroom team among its followers. It was only several months ago that it emerged Manchester United players had nicknamed their own coach after the fictional football manager.
And now those working behind the scenes at Liverpool 's Kirkby training base have taken their own inspiration from the programme. Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has revealed that he and the fellow coaches have even named their WhatsApp group after the one Lasso shares with his staff.
