Michael Carrick, former manager of Manchester United, wished the English club “nothing but success” the day after his departure, reaffirming his attachment to the team in an Instagram post. The former midfielder thanked the supporters, his staff and the players, according to Citizen Digital.
Carrick had led Manchester United to third place in the Premier League the previous season after taking charge on an interim basis and securing Champions League qualification. He then signed a two-year permanent contract, but managed only eight points from 10 games this season and won just one league match, leaving the club in the relegation zone.
Manchester United appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager on Friday 13 November, according to Citizen Digital. The Argentine, a former manager of Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, had until then been the United States manager.
