Breaking: Manchester United has announced the dismissal of Michael Carrick from his position and is preparing to appoint a new manager soon.
On 12 Nov 2026 GMT+7, Manchester United, currently 18th in the English Premier League, officially announced the dismissal of Michael Carrick as head coach.
Manchester United stated, "We confirm that Michael Carrick has ended his role as the head coach of the men's first team."
"Michael returned to work with the club in January and led the team to finish third in the Premier League, achieving 12 wins in the last 17 matches of the 2025/26 season—a period during which the team earned the most points in the league following a disappointing start to the season."
"The club has made the difficult decision that a change is necessary to achieve the club's objectives. Michael will remain a legend at Manchester United forever, just as he was during his playing days."
"He has demonstrated utmost dedication and professionalism throughout his recent tenure. His leadership and successes last season will be remembered with great admiration."
"The club intends to appoint a permanent successor as soon as possible." It is expected that Mauricio Pochettino, former manager of Tottenham, Chelsea, Southampton, and Paris Saint-Germain, will take over after reaching agreements with the United States national team.
