Actor Jason Sudeikis is set to star in "Ted Lasso" comedy series, which has been green lit by Apple for its upcoming streaming service.

The 44-year-old actor will portray the eponymous character, an idealistic all-American football coach, who, despite having no soccer coaching experience at all, is hired to manage an English football club.

Sudeikis will also write the pilot episode, in collaboration with Bill Lawrence, as well as executive produce the series, reported Deadline.
