Manchester United sacked head coach Michael Carrick
English football club Manchester United has dismissed head coach Michael Carrick amid the team's unsatisfactory results this season. This was announced on November 12 by journalist Andy Mitten.
"Manchester United fired Michael Carrick," the journalist wrote on the social network X.
Carrick took over the Mancunians on January 13, 2026, initially receiving the status of interim head coach. Under his leadership, the team managed to finish the English Premier League (Premier League) season in third place, thereby securing its participation in the Champions League.
However, in the 2026/27 season, the club's results deteriorated significantly. Under Carrick's leadership, Manchester United played 14 matches in the English Championship and the Champions League, winning only three. Five more meetings ended in a draw, and in six the team was defeated. Currently, the club occupies the 18th place in the Premier League standings, being in the relegation zone.
Against the background of Carrick's resignation, information appeared in the media about the possible appointment of a new mentor. According to journalists, the management of Manchester United has already reached an oral agreement with the head coach of the US national team, Mauricio Pochettino.
The head coach of the Tunisian national football team, Sabri Lamoushi, was dismissed on June 15 after the team's crushing defeat in the opening round of the 2026 World Cup. On the same day, the Swedish national team defeated Tunisia in the Group F match. The match took place in Monterrey, Mexico and ended with a score of 5:1 in favor of the Swedish players.
