Carrick Leads United's New Project
Manchester United has reached a final agreement with its interim coach Michael Carrick to continue in the position of head coach permanently, in a move that represents a significant shift in the team's project for the upcoming phase.
According to 'Sky Sports', the new contract will extend for two years with the option to extend for an additional year, which could keep the English coach at the helm of the technical leadership at Old Trafford until 2029, if the continuation clause is activated.
The official announcement of the agreement is expected within the next 48 hours, after completing all the legal details related to the contract between the two parties.
The decision of Manchester United's management came following the positive results achieved by Carrick since taking over, as he led the team in 15 matches, achieving 10 wins and 3 draws, enhancing the team's chances of competing for European spots.
The English coach also succeeded in leading the team to qualify for the Champions League next season, which will provide the club with a significant financial boost that could reach 100 million pounds sterling.
Carrick managed to achieve remarkable victories against the top teams in the Premier League, most notably winning against Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, which reinforced the management's confidence in his ability to lead the club's new technical project.
The coach enjoys clear support within the dressing room, with several players praising his leadership style, including Amad Diallo, Casemiro, and Matheus Cunha, who expressed their comfort in dealing with him.
In this context, Amad Diallo previously stated: 'Everyone is happy with him as a coach, the players fully support him, and if he continues next season, that would be great for us.'
Carrick is expected to lead the team against Nottingham Forest next Sunday, in the last match at Old Trafford this season, with expectations that he will deliver a special message to the club's fans after the match.
