Carrick sacked as Manchester United head coach
- On Thursday, November 12, 2026, Manchester United sacked men's first-team head coach Michael Carrick after the club's worst start in 40 years left them in the Premier League relegation zone with eight points from 10 games.
- Carrick, appointed permanent head coach in May 2026 following a successful interim spell, oversaw a disastrous campaign that yielded only one victory in 10 league matches under his permanent leadership.
- Systemic defensive frailties saw United concede 30 goals across all competitions, the worst in Europe's top five leagues, while captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Lisandro Martínez publicly criticized the tactical setup and leadership.
- United is negotiating with U.S. national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino to serve as the permanent successor, with the club reportedly prepared to trigger his release clause of approximately $10 million.
- Pochettino is expected to manage the U.S. team against Haiti on Saturday and Tuesday before facing his debut against rivals Liverpool at Anfield on November 22.
