Man Utd ‘reach agreement’ with Carrick to become head coach
Man Utd have reportedly reached an agreement with Michael Carrick to make him the permanent head coach of the first team.
The club entered talks with the former England international this week over a potential deal, offering him a two-year deal with the option for an additional year.
The 45-year-old was backed for the role by chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox in an executive committee meeting this week, and the choice has been rubber stamped by minority co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
According to The Athletic, Man Utd and Carrick have “reached a broad agreement” on terms to make him head coach on a permanent basis.
The report adds that “work is continuing” to finalise the details on contracts for Carrick and his backroom staff, who will also be retained by the club. Assistant Steve Holland and coaches Jonathan Woodgate and Jonny Evans will receive new deals, while a new set-piece coach is expected to be hired in the summer.
Carrick was installed as interim boss following Ruben Amorim’s sacking in January. He has won 10 of his 15 games in charge, guiding the Red Devils to UEFA Champions League qualification.
