Manchester United have officially parted ways with head coach Michael Carrick. The decision follows a difficult start to the 2026/27 campaign, which saw the team record only three wins and slip into the Premier League relegation zone. Carrick departs after managing just one victory in his final 11 matches. Reports indicate that the club is in negotiations to appoint Mauricio Pochettino, currently managing the United States national team, as his successor.
In London, Crystal Palace have dismissed manager Pierre Sage after only 16 matches in charge. Appointed in mid-June to succeed Oliver Glasner, Sage leaves the club at the bottom of the league table following a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool. Palace have struggled defensively throughout the season, conceding a league-high 24 goals. According to The Guardian, Thomas Frank has emerged as a leading contender to take over the managerial vacancy at Selhurst Park.
