Michael Carrick, formerly of Manchester United, has renewed his contract with Middlesbrough, committing to the club as head coach until 2027.
Approaching the final year of his initial three-year tenure at Riverside Stadium since 2022, Carrick caught the eye of several top-flight clubs due to his remarkable leadership on Teesside.
Under his guidance, Middlesbrough secured a fourth-place finish in the Championship during the 2022-23 season. However, their promotion hopes were dashed by Coventry City in the play-off semi-finals.
In the subsequent season, Middlesbrought missed the play-offs, landing in eighth place, but they made an impressive run to the EFL Cup semi-finals. They triumphed over Chelsea 1-0 in the first leg before a 6-1 defeat in the return match halted their advance.
Carrick shared his thoughts with the club’s media channels, expressing strong ties to the squad. “This deep connection, this trust we’ve built—it’s crucial,” he noted. “Nothing changes in my day-to-day; we just keep pushing towards our objectives.”
“‘It’s a big headline,’ you might say,” Carrick continued, “yet for me, it’s about continuity and striving for the goals we’ve set.”
