The Kansas native is making his way back to British soil, but instead of the male team he saw through to greatness, in season 4 he’s focusing on the struggling Second Division female team that Keeley (Juno Temple) and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) have set up in his absence.
But they will not be forgotten, with the show’s soul — rooted in kindness and self-belief — continuing to persist no matter who the key players are.
In honour of what lies ahead in Ted Lasso season 4, we look back at the series so far, and rank each character from worst to best.
Ted Lasso Characters: Ranked Worst to Best
30. James Tartt – played by Kieran O’Brien: Jamie’s grim, abusive, toxically masculine dad. Saved from the bottom by going to rehab at the end – but it was too little too late for viewers.
28. George Cartrick – played by Bill Fellows: AFC Richmond’s "old school" and misogynistic former manager who needs to invest in longer shorts. His approach to management is the polar opposite of Ted’s – who proved it was unnecessary to be so aggressive.
26. Zava – played by Maximilian Osinski: A rare misstep for the show, the player dipped in and out of the club in a blink, ultimately proving impressive, but a bit of a pointless addition.

21. Ola Obisanya – played by Nonso Anozie: Sam’s loving and proudly Nigerian dad, and also the player’s inspiration and moral compass. A single hug from this man may just be the cure to the world’s problems.
20. Will Kitman – played by Charlie Hiscock: The underappreciated kit man for the team, he often finds himself in conversations he has no business in, and gets extra points for becoming Nate’s punching bag when he didn’t deserve it. A genuine sweetie.
18. Moe Bumbercatch – played by Moe Hashim: Bumbercatch gets points for being the most beloved player on the team – but ultimately we as viewers know very little about him, so he loses some spots on the ranking.
16. Thierry Zoreaux – played by Moe Jeudy-Lamour: Whether you know how to say his name or not, Zoreaux is often a great source of comedy on the team, often taking things too literally or embracing multiple names.
15. Isaac McAdoo – played by Kola Bokinni: Isaac makes efforts to look tough and intimidating, but takes words and criticism extremely to heart. But his devotion to his teammates – especially best mate Colin – is very sweet, and his willingness to beat up a homophobic fan in his honour says a lot about his character. He struggles to find balance in controlling his aggression when his feelings are hurt, but he’s getting there.

Mae – played by Annette Badland: An underappreciated character, this pub landlady is a Richmond devotee who is always armed with wise words for anyone who needs them. She can also shoot a look that can kill, and isn’t afraid to put anyone (be they manager, player or punter) in their place.
11. Trent Crimm – played by James Lance: Independent. Starting out as a gotcha journalist, Trent became an unofficial member of the team as his friendship with Ted, and later Colin, grew. He grows to appreciate what Ted brings to the team, and more importantly what could happen if more people followed his way of thinking.
10. Leslie Higgins – played by Jeremy Swift
Oh, Higgins. As the Director of Communications of AFC Richmond, he’s a bit of a scapegoat at times, but he’s learned to stand-up for himself more, which we love. His loving family life away from the club is incredibly heartwarming as well.
9. Colin Hughes – played by Billy Harris
Colin’s coming out arc was one of the more emotional and beautiful stories in Ted Lasso. A Welsh boy who learns he doesn’t need to be something he’s not, his growth from Jamie Tartt lackey to strong and capable man (like he tells himself in the mirror) makes him hard not to love.
8. Sam Obisanya – played by Toheeb Jimoh
Mature beyond his 21 years, proud of his Nigerian heritage, and not afraid to go after what he wants. He’s a man led by his morals, not money, and that makes him all the more loveable.
7. ‘Sassy’ Collins – played by Ellie Taylor
Sassy would go to war for Rebecca, and we love her for it. Every acidic conversation she has with Rupert is pure gold. Sassy by name and by nature, she’s self-assured, open and not to be messed with.
6. Keeley Jones – played by Juno Temple
As a former Page 3 Girl and model, Keeley has always had confidence, but over the course of the show she has proven (mostly to herself) and embraced the fact that she’s as smart as she is beautiful. Now, her PR smarts are essential at Richmond. She’s carved out an empire of her own, and while her love life’s been a little complicated, she doesn’t need a partner to feel complete. Icon status.
5. Coach Beard – played by Brendan Hunt
4. Jamie Tartt – played by Phil Dunster
Starting off too smug for his own good, Jamie grew a lot over three seasons, learning to become part of a team instead of showboating. He’s also learned emotions are a strength, not a weakness like he was taught by his dad, opening up to those around him – especially Keeley and Roy. We’re going to miss this loudmouth in season 4.
3. Roy Kent – played by Brett Goldstein
Here’s hoping he’s learned to communicate a little better as season 4 starts.
2. Rebecca Welton – played by Hannah Waddingham
From bitter divorcée hellbent on revenge to a powerful businesswoman with a solid group of friends, Rebecca’s journey has arguably been the most interesting throughout the show. After years stuck under ex-husband Rupert’s thumb, the past three seasons have seen her reconnect with the fun girl’s girl she truly is, especially through her friendship with Keeley, while not losing the cutting business sense she’s developed. Queen of AFC Richmond – long may she reign.
