All of them have enjoyed two seasons of bliss at clubs like Leeds United, Leicester City and Manchester United, only to see their dream go sour. But can it also happen to fictional soccer coaches? © Apple TV+ With Apple TV+'s 'Ted Lasso' entering its third and probably its final season, will Jason Sudeikis' much loved fictional football coach avoid the same fate? Season Three of the Emmy winning sitcom finds AFC Richmond back in the Premier League mixing it with the big clubs. (SPOILERS APLENTY!)
