The Guardian by Andrew Pulver
As with most great football stories, there is a tale of redemption underlying all this; you can’t say it isn’t fully deserved.

In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the underachievng Greek National Football Team, from a country that had never previously won a single match or even scored a goal in a major tournament, became the unlikeliest of European Champions, led by legendary coach ‘King’ Otto Rehhagel.

Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
King Otto features a lot of thrilling old footage from the pitch, along with new interviews that dig into the ways this real-life Ted Lasso used a cultural gap to his advantage, counting on his players to raise their game whenever they couldn’t understand what he was saying. It’s a great story, crisply told.

The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
Somewhat gratingly, King Otto treats its story as a tale of national stereotypes colliding head-to-head.
