Why It Matters
Manchester United have not had consistent managerial success since Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013. The club worked with six different permanent coaches during this period.
The club said in a statement: "After a disappointing start to the season, the club has come to the extremely difficult conclusion that a change is required to achieve our objectives. Michael is and always will be a Manchester United legend. He demonstrated the highest level of commitment and professionalism during his return to the club, as he did during his playing days. His leadership and achievements last season will always be fondly remembered." expressions were used.
The Manchester team, which was in the relegation zone after starting the season with a 2-0 defeat to Hull City, could only win 1 match in its last 11 matches in all competitions.
Club Chief Executive Omar Berrada informed Carrick of the decision this morning at the training facilities. The British coach and his team were dismissed.
POCHETTINO IS EXPECTED
Manchester United is expected to appoint Mauricio Pochettino, who coaches the US National Team, as the coach.
It was reported in the press that the Manchester representative, who had been in contact with the Argentinian coach at different times since 2016 but did not appoint him as the head of the team, would pay 10 million dollars in compensation to the US Football Federation for Pochettino.
Pochettino had previously coached Tottenham, Chelsea and Southampton in England and took Tottenham to the final of the UEFA Champions League.
THIS SEASON'S TURBULATION NEVER ENDED

The 45-year-old coach, who was appointed as Manchester United's permanent coach on a two-year contract in May, has gone through a turbulent period on and off the field.
The repeated criticisms of Lisandro Martinez and Bruno Fernandes in front of the press reflected the problems within the team in the Manchester team, which won only one of its first 10 matches in the Premier League and was eliminated by Brighton in the League Cup.
After the Manchester team lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on October 13, defender Martinez criticized the investments made in the squad and the director of football Jason Wilcox.
Again, after the 4-1 defeat against the Italian team Como in the Champions League, captain Bruno Fernandes, upon a question about tactics, targeted coach Carrick and said, "It is not my job to see this, it is the job of the coach and his team." he replied.
IT WAS NOT THE SAME AFTER FERGUSON
Manchester United, which left its mark on world football by achieving countless successes with the club's legendary coach Alex Ferguson, has worked with six permanent coaches since Ferguson's retirement in 2013 and could only come second in this period.
The club's best seasons in the league came with Jose Mourinho in 2017-2018 and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2020-2021.
