However, the executive director of the Welsh soccer club recently brushed away all the unwanted comparisons.

Wrexham vs Ted Lasso

The person in the limelight is Humphrey Ker. Ker is partly responsible for the start of the already successful tenure of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the club. In an exclusive interview with the Athletic, he mentioned the struggles the Welsh soccer club went through after the COVID pandemic. Even though Wrexham had quite a successful first season under the Hollywood duo, they failed to achieve promotion.

From a storyline perspective for a documentary series, that was picture-perfect! Prior to the record last season, Ker jokingly told the Hollywood duo that the soccer club would lift the title this season with a 30-point lead on the points table. While fate didn’t pan out that way, the soccer universe witnessed a nail-biting season with Wrexham till the very end.

In the famous last words of Humphrey Ker, “But we are not Ted Lasso. This is real life. You can’t choose your ending”.
