Michael Carrick has been dismissed as Manchester United head coach, according to the Press Association.
Mauricio Pochettino, the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager who is currently in charge of the United States national team, is reportedly set to replace him.
Carrick, a former Manchester United midfielder, captain, and coach, initially took over as interim manager after Ruben Amorim’s contentious departure in January.
He led the team to a third-place Premier League finish and secured Champions League qualification, which earned him a two-year contract. However, following a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa that left United in the relegation zone, Carrick has now been relieved of his duties.
The Press Association reports that an agreement is already in place for Pochettino to step in as Carrick’s successor.
