Michael Carrick confirmed as Middlesbrough boss as Man Utd legend takes first managerial job with Championship club

Published on October 24, 2022 at 05:41 PM

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Michael Carrick has been confirmed as Middlesbrough̢۪s new boss.

The 41-year-old has been a long-term deal at The Riverside as he begins his first role in management.

Carrick has been in advanced talks with the Championship club for weeks over replacing Chris Wilder.

Negotiations stalled last week over the make-up of the ex-United star̢۪s backroom team but those issues have been resolved.

Former England international Carrick won the Premier League five times and the Champions League during his Old Trafford playing career.

He initially joined United̢۪s coaching staff under Jose Mourinho.

He was then part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer̢۪s backroom team before then getting a brief taste of management himself after the Norwegian was axed in November 2021.

Newcastle-born Carrick had a three-game stint as caretaker.

He led United to two wins and then a draw against Chelsea but left after Ralf Rangnick̢۪s arrival.

Now he is tasked with transforming struggling Boro̢۪s fortunes after a dire start to the Championship campaign left them fifth bottom.

Middlesbrough have only won four of their 15 games but thumped Wigan 4-1 away from home on Wednesday.

Leo Percovich, a coach at the club under Aitor Karanka, Jonathan Woodgate, Neil Warnock and then Wilder, was placed in temporary charge following Wilder̢۪s dismissal.

Now Carrick will be hoping to kick-off his reign with a win when Boro take on fellow strugglers Huddersfield at home on Saturday.
