As of yesterday, Michael Carrick is no longer on the Manchester United bench, after just 11 months at the helm of the team.
According to The Sun, the 45-year-old coach broke down in tears yesterday as he said goodbye to the team’s players at Carrington.

However, the former “Red Devils” star may find solace in the hefty severance package he received upon the termination of his contract, as, according to British media, he will receive 6 million euros!
In 32 matches as United’s manager, Carrick recorded 15 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses; however, after the team’s promising performances last year, this season’s run has been disappointing, and after 10 matches, they find themselves in the Premier League relegation zone.
His replacement on the bench will be Mauricio Pochettino, who has already agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract, with United paying 8.85 million euros to the U.S. Soccer Federation to buy out his contract.
