Carrick Leaves Manchester United, Pochettino Appointed Coach

Michael Carrick has officially left his position at Manchester United, prompting the club to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the new head coach. Pochettino has signed a two-and-a-half year contract, which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2029.

He is currently fulfilling commitments with the men's national team before arriving in England. Carrick had taken charge of Manchester United almost a year ago, initially as interim manager following Ruben Amorim's exit.

His contract was made permanent at the start of the season, but results declined significantly, with only one league victory by matchweek 10, leading to his dismissal. Following the announcement of Pochettino's appointment, Carrick published an open letter to Manchester United supporters, praising their loyalty and expressing gratitude to his coaching staff, players, and backroom workers.

The managerial change marks another chapter in Manchester United's ongoing search for stability, with the severance package for Carrick and his staff exceeding £100 million.
