Middlesbrough have officially announced that head coach Michael Carrick has extended his contract for another three years. The former Manchester United and England midfielder took over at the Riverside Stadium in October 2022 and has guided the team to consistent top ten finishes in the Championship during his tenure. Despite a heartbreaking playoff loss to Coventry City last season, Carrick and his team managed a memorable run in the Carabao Cup, only to be eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Looking ahead to the upcoming Championship campaign, Middlesbrough fans are optimistic about their chances of securing a playoff spot under Carrick’s leadership. The coach expressed his commitment to the club, citing the trust and belief he shares with the board and supporters as crucial factors in his decision to stay on.
Meanwhile, Coventry City is reportedly interested in signing Switzerland Under-21 international Alvyn Sanches from Lausanne-Sport. The talented midfielder has caught the eye of several European clubs, including Celtic and Stoke City, but Coventry will have to meet a £4.3m asking price to secure his services. With competition from clubs in Germany, France, and the Netherlands, the Sky Blues face a tough battle to land Sanches.
